The Trump administration is investigating thirteen states, including California, New York, and Washington, for allegedly violating federal law by not allowing insurers or employers to opt out of covering abortion based on conscience. This move is based on the Weldon Amendment, a federal spending rule that prohibits states from discriminating against health entities not providing or covering abortions. The current administration has broadened the interpretation of the amendment to include employers and plan sponsors, sparking these probes. The issue has fueled partisan debate, with legal experts noting a back-and-forth swing in how the law is read depending on whos in the White House. The focus is on whether these states allow opt-outs for coverage, with the investigations potentially shaping future policy.
