Respect Life

The White House on Oct. 21 proposed a new regulation under the Affordable Care Act, sometimes referred to as Obamacare, that would require insurers to cover over-the-counter contraception without cost sharing.

A coalition of medical and pro-life groups Oct. 22 launched what they called the Women’s Healthcare Declaration, which they said calls on policymakers, medical boards and other health care entities to enact pro-life policies that enhance “the medical standard of care for pregnant women and women facing miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, an incomplete abortion or any other life-threatening condition related to pregnancy.”
