The problem is that most people get their insurance through their employer in a group plan. Sure an insurer could offer a group plan that didn't include abortion but, they would be sticking their neck out. Planned Parenthood would call for a boycott of that particular insurer. Most Unions would at the least join in. Any company looking for a health plan might purposely avoid that one insurer just to avoid controversy. In short it wouldn't be good for business so. It would never happen.
With this law the people who want the abortion coverage will pay for it. The rest won't have to contribute to something they find offensive.
