Excerpt from the full fact sheet:

The Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill provides funding for the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program, the network of insurance plans that covers more than eight million federal employees, their dependents, and retirees.

• For almost 25 years, anti-choice lawmakers have used this health benefits package as an opportunity to deny women beneficiaries their right to choose.
  
  
• Despite what anti-choice ideologues would have the public believe, the coverage of abortion services in federal health plans would NOT mean that abortion is being subsidized by the federal government. Currently, the government simply contributes to the premiums of federal employees in order to allow them to purchase private health insurance. Many American workers receive health insurance through their employers. Such benefits are part of the employees’ compensation. Federal employees are no different.
  
  
• Lifting the ban would not mandate abortion coverage for all federal employees. Many participating plans in the FEHB may or may not choose to include coverage for abortion services. Thus, an employee who did not wish to choose a plan with abortion coverage could do just that.
  
  
• Knowing that the American majority opposes making abortion illegal, anti-choice members of Congress work to make obtaining an abortion more difficult and more dangerous. Singling out abortion for exclusion from health-care plans that cover other reproductive-health services is harmful to women's health and discriminates against women in public service.
