States Defy Clinton Rule Over Medicaid Abortions
Utah and Louisiana refuse to fund abortions for rape or incest victims under the Clinton administration rule, joining about 10 states with laws limiting Medicaid funded abortions to cases where the mother’s life is at risk. Idaho and Arizona say they will comply, while South Dakota, Arkansas, Missouri, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Virginia, and others show potential trouble. The rule, announced last month, aims to require Medicaid spending on abortions for rape or incest, despite the Hyde Amendment bans.
