Country Funding of Abortion Nether Medicaid

Background

Outset implemented in 1977, the Hyde Amendment, which currently forbids the use of federal funds for abortions except in cases of life endangerment, rape or incest, has guided public funding for abortions under the joint federal-land Medicaid programs for low-income people. At a minimum, states must embrace those abortions that run into the federal exceptions. Although most states encounter the requirements, 1 state is in violation of federal Medicaid law, considering information technology pays for abortions only in cases of life endangerment. Some states employ their own funds to pay for all or most medically necessary abortions, although most do so as a result of a specific court order.
