WCC Supports Abortion Opt-Out in State Health Care Exchange

The WCC supports legislation introduced this week to opt Wisconsin out of including abortion services in any future state health benefit exchange. The 2010 federal health care reform act (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or PPACA) mandates that states establish health care exchanges. Although health insurance plans offering abortion coverage are allowed to participate in these exchanges and receive federal subsidies, PPACA also gives states the right to affirmatively opt-out of offering these plans. Senate Bill 92 (Sen. Rich Zipperer, R-Pewaukee) prohibits a qualified health plan offered through any exchange operating in Wisconsin from covering any abortion that is ineligible for federal or state funding. The bill awaits a public hearing.
Here's the text of the bill which I pointed out earlier, ensures Wisconsin taxpayers must pay for abortion .

This funding prohibition does not apply in the following circumstances: 1) the abortion is directly and medically necessary to save the life of the woman and a physician so certifies; 2) the abortion is performed in the case of sexual assault or incest, a physician so certifies, and the sexual assault or incest is reported to law enforcement; and 3) due to a preexisting medical condition, the abortion is directly and medically necessary to prevent grave, long-lasting physical health damage to the woman and a physician so certifies.
2011 SENATE BILL 92 

1) Direct abortion is never medically necessary to save a woman's life.
2) This is not the legality of killing unborn children due to the condition of their conception, but it is who has to pay for it.  WE have to pay for it. This legislation will guarantee we have to pay for abortion. 
3) That can mean just about anything.
