Abortion Toll Likely to Rise in 2012 Because of Obama Administration
Many pro-lifers aren’t opposed to barrier methods of contraception, but all pro-lifers should be opposed to chemical birth control methods that interfere with the implantation of a newly-conceived human zygote. Since consistent pro-lifers reason that life begins at conception, they are in opposition not only to birth control methods that rip children from the womb (i.e., surgical abortion), but also to those methods that prevent newly-conceived children from ever getting there (i.e., chemical abortion).
A recent study shows that 53 million abortions have been performed in America since 1973. However, that figure does not include the countless millions of unborn lives that have been extinguished as a result of chemical abortions occurring due to the birth control pill or the morning-after pill.
Because of chemical birth control, the total number of abortions is probably in the hundreds of millions. And, thanks to the US federal government, that toll is likely to increase greatly in 2012.
Back in August of 2011, the Department of Health and Human Services, led by pro-abortion Obama appointee Kathleen Sebelius, announced that in 2012 it will be forcing insurance companies to pay for abortion-inducing birth control.
Of course, this means that all kinds of birth control, including the Pill, the Morning After Pill, and various types of birth control patches and shots will all be covered by private insurers free of charge, without co-pay or deductible. (See FPN’s Policy Paper about dangers of the Morning After Pill here.)
This tragic development will only further enable the increased destruction of tiny human lives via chemical abortions. Not only is the United States government refusing to protect its weakest citizens from surgical abortions, it is now forcing private companies to fund the chemical murder of those weakest among us.
But that’s not all. The immoral requirement will also affect each and every American who pays an insurance premium. Since insurance companies will now be forced to pay for these abortion inducing drugs without requiring a co-pay, they likely will increase everyone’s premiums in order to protect themselves from losing money.
Essentially, any pro-life American who pays an insurance premium will eventually be paying for chemical abortions.
