Supreme Court abortion ruling echoed in Delco
Delaware County women groups praised the Supreme Court's decision to let federal Medicaid funding for abortions continue while ordering a lower court to review the Hyde Amendment. Activists argued the ban is discriminatory against poor women and urged continued access to funding while the court weighs constitutionality. The ruling keeps Medicaid funds available for abortions sought by poor women for now.
