Administration accused of pushing abortion-based 'family planning'The Biden administration is trying to push its abortion-based family planning agenda by depriving women of needed health insurance coverage for fertility awareness-based methods, according to a new lawsuit.
That leaves coverage of "only contraceptive and abortifacient drugs and devices," according to the claim in a federal lawsuit in federal court that charges Biden's appointees with violating regulatory laws.
According to the ADF, which is handling the case, "Dr. Cami Jo Tice-Harouff, who is a licensed family nurse practitioner in Longview, Texas, with a doctorate in nursing practice, and is also licensed in several states, provides patients with instruction in several different evidence-based fertility awareness methods of family planning. Those methods provide family planning options by carefully tracking a woman’s individual fertility."
She assists her patients by billing insurance providers, and then donating the proceeds to a non-profit clinic that provides health care to the needy, the ADF said.
The Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, does not allow insurance plans from imposing cost-sharing requirements on women seeking "preventative care and screenings," and in 2016 the Department of Health and Human Services specifically added coverage of "instruction in fertility awareness-based methods."
However, under the Biden administration, and the HHS chief, the radically pro-abortion Xavier Becerra, the HHS last December excluded "fertility awareness-based methods" from coverage.
