A House committee has heard testimony on a bill to remove abortion coverage from most insurance policies and require Kansans to purchase extra coverage for the procedure.
Supporters of the bill told the House Insurance Committee on Thursday they believe Kansans abortion morally offensive and do not want to pay insurance premiums for the procedure.
The committee's chairman, Republican Rep. Virgil Peck of Tyro, says the bill would require women to purchase a rider from their insurance carrier for elective abortions.
Insurance policies could still cover abortion if a pregnancy endangered a woman's life or resulted from incest or rape.
The committee took no action and plans to work the bill next week.
Opponents question whether the resolution is necessary.
