No Surprise Here: PCUSA’s Clergy Health Plan Covers Elective Abortions
The Board of Pensions is an agency of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) that provides a variety of health services to their churches, agencies, and affiliated employers through the Benefits Plan of the PCUSA including “medical, dental, vision, retirement, death and disability, and flexible spending accounts.”
Founded in Philadelphia in 1717, it was initially named the Fund for Pious Uses but eventually transformed into the Board of Pensions as its services and offerings grew. It now serves approximately 65,000 denominational staff and their families, providing tailored and unrestricted benefits in terms of medical, dental, vision, etc
One of these benefits that is covered is Women’s Health Protection, which includes mass murder through IVF procedures, but also through one-at-a-time elective abortions, according to the benefits handbook:
Consistent with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s affirmation of the ability and responsibility of a
woman to make good moral choices regarding problem pregnancies, the Medical Plan reimburses
medical costs for abortion procedures, subject to plan limits.
Despite having no moral basis for making the point, they insist that “abortion should not be used as a method of birth control, for gender selection only, or solely to obtain fetal parts for transplantation.”
The PCUSA loves abortion so much that they’ll even pay their clergy to get one, two, three, or four, making it all the more terrifying on that day of judgment.

Reminds me of some things I’ve heard through the grapevine where I live, from discussions with pastors and others involved in the UMC, who have said they are against all the apostasy in their denomination, and know full well that it is wrong, but have kept their mouth shut for fear of losing their pensions, insurance, and other benefits.
The mess wont stop until enough people step out in faith, trust the Lord, and quit serving mammon.
I’m just an anonymous poster on the internet, who has an opinion. But I’d say one recourse would be, if money is tight, then do what honors the Lord, and quit funding the wickedness, even if you have to stop tithing. A very good argument could be made that protecting the life of the unborn would constitute a far better way to tithe than to fund fancy new carpet for the fellowship hall. The ultimate point of it is to recognize that it is the Lord’s money. And we are to be good stewards of His money. What would the Lord have us do with that money? What would He deem to be the highest priority?
