Free Abortions

 

California Bill Would Make Abortions Free

As Roe v. Wade appears to be on shaky ground, states are rushing to create legislation that either upholds life or promotes killing it. California has doubled down with not only legislation to provide free abortions but also to help pay expenses of women to travel to California for abortions.

Lawmakers are staying busy to make sure abortion on demand is the law of state as the United States Supreme Court revisits Roe v. Wade, including in California where women will be able to abort their unborn child for free. “With this legislation, we’ll help ensure equitable, affordable access to abortion services so that out-of-pocket costs don’t stand in the way of receiving care,” California  Governor Gavin Newsom said in a statement.  Senate Bill 245, named the Abortion Accessibility Act, prohibits insurance companies from charging a deductible, co-pay, or deductible for the procedure. "Eliminating out-of-pocket costs for abortion for people with private insurance is a major step in California’s commitment to being a Reproductive Freedom state — making abortion services more accessible and affordable for all people in California,” Jodi Hicks, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, said in a statement about the law, which goes into effect in 2023.  Another Democrat California lawmaker, Sen. Nancy Skinner, proposed a bill last week that would create a fund to help women pay the expenses of traveling to California to abort their child.

- Father, it grieves us to see human life so devalued by these elected lawmakers. As your word says in Proverbs 24:11, "Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter." Use us, Lord to deliver the unborn from death.
