WASHINGTON, D.C., November 20, 2018 (Family Research Council) – On Monday, the Family Research Council (FRC) and the Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) announced the results of their fifth annual comprehensive review of elective abortion coverage in Individual and Family health insurance plans offered on healthcare.gov and state-based exchanges under the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”). Open enrollment began on November 1 and continues until December 15.
CLI is the research arm of the Susan B. Anthony List.
The groups’ 2019 fact sheet with detailed information and an interactive map are available online at ObamacareAbortion.com. The web site was launched in 2014 as a resource to help consumers find pro-life health plans. Some of their key findings for the 2019 plan year include:

• Of all Individual and Family exchange plans in the 24 states and the District of Columbia that allow abortion coverage in exchange plans, an estimated 65 percent (650 plans) cover elective abortion – up from 53 percent (527 plans) in 2018.
