Ohio Gov. John Kasich Wednesday signed into law a bill prohibiting coverage of abortion in insurance plans who operate in the insurance exchanges created by health care reform. The ACLU says the move is unconstitutional, via the AP:
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio has claimed the measure is unconstitutional and has said it would fight it in court.
The ACLU of Ohio says the ban on abortion coverage violates a voter-backed state constitutional amendment that says no law or rule should prohibit the purchase or sale of health care or health insurance.
The constitutional amendment was approved by voters during last month’s election.
