Lynn4 talk page I'll get back on Percy Julian---birth control pill-- with a reference later today...and with a story! It is unethical not to include Julian who was the first person in an industrial setting to synthesize human sex hormones on a large scale, nay it is unconscionable, not to mention the merit of this case. He definitely was an inspiration to others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.182.123.65 (talk) 14:24, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Inaccurate addition question

Hi Lynn4. In this edit summary you state: update and revise inaccurate 6 December 2015 addition by Rin3guy. I do not find anything incorrect about the insertion of this information or its supporting attached reference. As of 8:47 PM EST on 3 December 2015, the information was updated by NPR and correct, and it was accurately inserted by Rin3guy. Can you please expand on your brief edit summary? Ping me back. Cheers! PS: I noticed your user "contributions" and they are interesting and sparse.

@Checkingfax: Your edit summary:
→‎Funding: move ref to support "The bill would also repeal the portions of the Affordable Care Act requiring employers to fund abortions and abortifacients."
caught my eye because I knew that the Affordable Care Act does not require employers to fund abortions and abortifacients.
The cited NPR reference does not say the bill would also repeal portions of the Affordable Care Act requiring employers to fund abortions and abortifacients.

Hi Lynn4. Thank you for your quick reply. It helps a lot. I was looking at a summary of the Affordable Health Act and found this:

Abortion coverage: Prohibit abortion coverage from being required as part of the essential health benefits package. (Effective January 1, 2014)

Since you are a topical expert can you please school me on this provision? I am trying to get the article to Good Article status. Thank you. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 23:12, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

@Checkingfax: See:
Public Law 111-148 (H.R. 3590) The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,

"nothing in this title ... shall be construed to require a qualified health plan to provide coverage of [abortion services] as part of its essential health benefits for any plan year"
