Would it be wrong to sign up for health insurance that covers abortion?
The short answer
No. Your intention is to pay for medical coverage for yourself and your family, not for abortion or sterilization. If you can find comparable coverage and rates from a company that does not cover them, that is better — though such a company is very hard to find today.
Your intention
Signing up is not wrong, because what you intend is medical coverage for your family, not paying for abortion or sterilization.
The better choice, where possible
If a company offering comparable coverage and rates does not cover abortion or sterilization, it would be best to buy from that company. Unfortunately, such companies are extremely difficult to find.
