And it's already IN Congress! Here's what it would do (keep in mind what Catholic Hospitals/Pharmacies would have to do):
- Prohibit[s] a group health plan from excluding or restricting benefits for prescription contraceptive drugs, devices, and outpatient services
- Requires hospitals, as a condition of receiving federal funds, to offer and to provide, upon request, emergency contraception to victims of sexual assault.
- Expand[s] Medicaid's coverage of family planning services ... and contraception
- Expands Medicaid rebates to manufacturers for the sale of covered outpatient drugs at nominal prices to include sales to student health care facilities and entities offering family planning services.
• Force insurance companies to cover birth control if they cover other prescriptions;
• Mandate that every hospital in the state provide emergency contraception to rape victims and tell the victims that emergency contraception does not cause an abortion;
• Replace abstinence-only sex ed with programs that gives equal time to the use of birth control and don’t tell children to save sex for marriage;
• Put taxpayer money into “teen pregnancy prevention” programs;
• Do away with the right of pharmacies and/or pharmacists to refuse to sell products that conflict with their religious beliefs;
• Rewrite the Ohio health funding bill to ensure that PP is directly eligible for taxpayer money for family planning services.
American Life League has the details.
