If the christofascists can convince enough of the major health insurance providers...

[Hugin]

That the key procedures related to abortion and birth control are "unnecessary".

There.would.be.no.need.for.a.national.abortion.ban!

I'm sure the insurers would go along with it because, $$$.

The christofascists would get to have their cake and eat it too. The rich would still get their abortions, the SCrOTUS would say, "Hey it wasn't us!", and the Retrumplicans would get to whistle past the graveyard.

Let that sink in.

1. Except medication abortion is much cheaper than childbirth

Unless they can pass that expense along... They won't go for it

2. There you go thinking rationally.

These people are completely irrational. They never ever think beyond the current Quarter.

It's all about the bottom line with some and the cruelty to most.

Thinking about the cost of childbearing and rearing has never been a priority. It's a cost built into every abortion ban out there and not a single Dollar has been added. In fact, right now they're looking at cutting SSDI and children's programs down at the illegal DOGE central.

3. GAWD

Just wants them wemins to DIE anyway.

4. Medicare/caid doesn't cover abortions, except rape, incest, threat to life. Many insurance companies don't either.

But Republicans are A-holes for sure.

5. Interesting.

Why not?

6. They don't see it as a necessary health care expense

Edited to add: most insurance plans put it in the same category as birth control.
