Alaska Poised to Grant Insurance Coverage to Chemicals-that-Kill  
The abortion lobby is pushing legislation that would force insurance companies to pay for abortion-causing drugs, and on May 4 the Alaska House passed the bill 25-13. The bill would require health insurers to cover so-called “contraceptive” drugs and devices. Planned Parenthood, by its own admission, acknowledges that “the pill” does not always prevent conception, but when conception occurs, and a human being is in existence, “the pill” causes the lining of the uterus to become inhospitable to the developing baby who dies from lack of nourishment and is expelled. This is not “contraception”, it is abortion. The latest chemical weapon against unborn babies is the “morning after pill”, or the “Emergency Contraceptive Pill” (ECP), a higher dosage of ordinary birth control pills which are used within 72 hours after intercourse to prevent conception or implantation. Insurance companies that do not cover chemicals-that-kill such as Norplant, Depo Provera, birth control pills and EPC’s should not be forced to do so. These drugs are medically unnecessary, elective, not required for any healthcare purpose, and are potentially dangerous to the woman’s health. Pro-life citizens in Alaska and every other state should be aware that this effort is underway and educate their state legislators so they will oppose it. The state-by-state effort to pass similar bills is part of the strategy being used by the abortion lobby to build momentum for the enactment of the “Equity in Prescription and Contraceptive Coverage Act” that has been introduced in Congress by Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Rep. Jim Greenwood (R-PA), both of whom are aggressively pro-abortion. Passage of this legislation is expected to guarantee a financial windfall for Planned Parenthood and other providers of abortion and abortion-related services who buy and sell these drugs at an enormous profit. A similar bill recently passed in Connecticut.
