ACA Title 1, Sec. 1303. Special rules: “Bad”- Identifies special ground rules for handling abortion services. This provision provides general protections for consumers to have access to health plans through exchanges that cover abortion services. It also protects state laws from preemption by federal laws and established ground rules for public funding of abortion services. It also includes protections for providers to refuse on moral grounds from providing abortion services. I don’t know where you as the reader come down on the issue of abortion, but I believe that the life of every fetus, baby, child or infant is of great value and needs to be protected. I believe that all the features contained in this section are intended to handle abortion services in a distinctly different and special way which may be necessary given the controversial nature of abortion, but I wish that as a society we could somehow come to agreement that babies (or whatever you call them), once they have been conceived deserve to live. My opinion has clearly been shaped by my wife and I having two wonderful children and six wonderful grandchildren.
