Court Ruling May Halt Federal Abortion Funds
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that neither the Constitution nor federal law requires states to fund elective abortions when mothers are not in danger. The decision lets states choose whether to provide welfare payments for poor women bearing children, and holds public hospitals owe no legal obligation to perform abortions for the poor. The Hyde amendment moves through Congress as federal Medicaid covers about one third of abortions, targeting roughly 300,000 yearly at $50 million.
