(Life News) Members of Congress are concerned the Obama administration ill break
current federal law to pay for abortions for members of Congress and
Congressional staff via Obamacare.
Some 86 members of Congress signed on to a letter to the director of the Office
of Personnel Management expressing concerns that it will not comply with the
Smith Amendment regarding Federal employee health plans that provide benefits or
coverage for abortion.
Under the amendment, which is existing law, federal funds may not be used to pay
for abortions via federally-funded health insurance for congressional staff and
Members.
Recently, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed regulation
regarding health insurance for Congressional staff and Members of Congress.
Unless further clarifications are made, the arrangement for Congressional
employees will result in a violation of the Smith amendment, which specifies
that OPM cannot engage in administrative duties in connection with insurance
plans that include abortion.
