H5006 would require insurance companies to provide abortion coverage to residents of Rhode Island.
The Rhode Island House passed H5006 on April 27, 2023, by a vote of 49 to 24. We have assigned minuses to the yeas because no insurer should ever be compelled to cover the practice of abortion. On the contrary, violating a child’s right to life and limb through the grotesque practice of abortion should be considered illegal in Rhode Island and be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
