In Michigan, an anti-choice measure dubbed the “rape insurance” law has gone into effect. The law bars insurance companies from covering abortion — including in cases of rape — unless consumers purchase a separate rider. But after Thursday, no insurance companies are providing the riders to new consumers in the private marketplace. While the riders will reportedly be available in some employer-provided plans, people buying their own insurance can no longer obtain coverage for abortion. Michigan is the ninth state to restrict abortion coverage in private insurance plans.
