Michigan Stats Disprove Notion of High Numbers of Insurance-Paid Abortions

Pro-abortion groups say most insurance plans pay for abortions, however, new statistics from Michigan show that a miniscule percentage of women had their abortions paid for by insurance companies. According to statistics from the Michigan health department this week in its survey of abortions done in 2008, just 1.8 percent of women relied in insurance coverage for their abortion. 98.1 percent of women paid the approximately $400-$500 (for a first-trimester abortion) out of their own pockets.
