To begin, health insurers do not carry abortion coverage. Those words will not appear in any description of the procedure. The medical terms involved are as silly as abortion.

The other reason this is a discriminatory demand is that employers can look into the health care provided and know whether the woman has abortion coverage or not. That would impact her desirability as an employee in some instances.
In addition, any religious organization has already been given an opportunity to object to such inclusions in their policies. The demand is discriminatory and out of the question. No one person knows what the future holds and quite frankly why would any person, religious or not rule out the genetic mistakes of DNA?
Not every genetic disorder of a fetus is Trisomy 21 with a hope of leading a reasonably normal life within the understanding the USA provides for disabilities.
There are some very terrible genetic disorders in utero that should never see the light of day. There is a malformation within the genetic content of some discovered upon testing that shows the fetus to have O shaped disorders. The gene itself has taken on the shape of an O. These fetus need to be aborted by a surgeon. Those fetus will suffer mercilessly if they were to be born outside the uterus. Why do that? It is not necessarily the genetic content of the parents that cause these issues.
While it is a good idea that potential parents with known genetic disorders within their family history should receive genetic counseling, it does not solve the problem. Pregnant women are exposed to the environment and where toxins exist in the air and water it effects the fetus. Additionally, virus and bacteria can become an issue should the mother be exposed. Virus can't be given a magic pill to make them disappear and why should a fetus have to carry this level of grievance because a radical extremism within the society wants to punish it's existence forever.
The decision to terminate a pregnancy has very valid reasons. No one uses abortion as a way of reproductive contraception. The decision lies with the woman with or without her partner/spouse.
The idea a health care insurance company has to add to it's cost by instituting special designations due to hideous ideas of a society is outrageous! If a company wants to be SPECIALIST insurances to these nut cases they can pursue that venue, but, no doubt IT WILL COST!
