In response, Congressman Kevin McCarthy released the following statement:
Friends,
On Friday, California’s leadership decided that it would continue to disregard the rights of pro-life Americans. And though this announcement is unsurprising, it is nonetheless disappointing. No one should be compelled by state authorities to include abortion in their health insurance plan. The state’s actions are cold and cruel.
To those who are being discriminated against by the government’s constant overreach, we see you, and we hear you. And we will continue to hold California’s leadership accountable.
May God bless you,
Kevin McCarthy
