Testimony of Physicians Board Chair Dr. Nancy Stanwood in Opposition to H.R. 7, the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act.”

Physicians welcomes the opportunity to submit testimony on H.R. 7, misleadingly named the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act.” This dangerous bill would effectively ban insurance coverage for abortion, even to protect a woman’s health. This could put access to abortion out or reach for countless women. A woman’s health insurance should meet all her health needs and cover a full range of medical procedures, including abortion.
