Nebraska Policy Bars Welfare Abortions On Demand
The Nebraska Welfare Department announced a new policy restricting abortion on welfare to cases where the mother’s life is in danger or the pregnancy results from rape or incest. A public hearing showed divided views among supporters and opponents, with letters after the hearing heavily favoring further curtailment of Medicaid abortions. The policy references a federal court ruling shifting responsibility to states and deletes the death by own action clause, while promising further medical consultation to resolve remaining ambiguities.
