James Lankford: “There's 12, maybe 13 states... that don't allow any option…”

“The original agreement in the conversation was that every state would allow some options that would have elective abortions for your health care coverage and some. Some options that you could choose without that. Except now that There's 12, maybe 13 states... that don't allow any option of the Affordable Care Act... that doesn't also require abortion coverage. So even people that are morally opposed to abortion and the taking of human life. They don't have an option to buy coverage in their state for health care without having abortion coverage built into it.” (05:58–06:11)
