Abortion restrictions amongst "high risk pools"

Our President, Stephanie Schriock, released this statement in response to the Obama administration's announcement that they will exclude abortion coverage from newly created high-risk pools:

"EMILY's List is dismayed and disappointed by the unnecessary restrictions being placed on access to reproductive health care for women in the new "high risk pools."

"Women in these "high-risk pools" face challenging circumstances and decisions that should be made by them and their doctors alone, with respect for their personal choices.

"Denying these women access to basic services – paid for with their own money – is not in keeping with the respect for women’s lives and choices that EMILY’s List fights for, and is contrary to the aims of health care reform which EMILY’s List members and candidates fought so hard for."
