Ruling means insurers do not have to send separate bills for abortion, as religious conservatives wanted

President Donald Trump listens during a roundtable on Venezuela at Iglesia Doral Jesus Worship Center, Friday, July 10, 2020, in Doral, Fla.A federal judge in Baltimore on Friday struck down a Trump administration rule that abortion rights advocates called a manoeuver to restrict access but officials defended as merely following the law.

The judge’s ruling means insurers can continue to make the charge for abortion coverage a line item on their monthly bill, or just give policyholders notice that it’s included.Although abortion is a legal medical procedure, federal law has long barred the use of taxpayer funds to pay for it in most cases.

Abortion opponents cried foul, saying separate bills should be mandatory because that would clearly reflect the intent of the law. The Trump administration, which takes its lead on social issues from religious conservatives, agreed. Last year the Department of Health and Human Services proposed that separate bills would be required.

Judge Blake sided with the plaintiffs, underlining that the health care law itself called for “separate payments” but did not address how to collect.
