Ban on Medicaid abortions lifted by federal judge
A Brooklyn federal judge ruled that the Hyde Amendment cannot block Medicaid reimbursements for abortions, declaring abortion a constitutional right and stating that denying payment based on money would waste funds on prenatal and postnatal care. The ruling, by Judge John Dooling Jr., could nullify the amendment nationwide unless overturned on appeal. He noted HEW estimates of annual Medicaid abortion spending and potential costs if AFDC rolls expand. The Department of HEW said it would comply, and a separate suit in Washington was dismissed for lack of showing an impediment to payment.
