Court Orders Medicaid Abortions in Virginia
A federal judge ruled Virginia must fund medically necessary abortions under Medicaid while a suit challenges the state rule restricting funds to life-endangering cases. Judge Albert V. Bryan Jr. halted the policy pending a May 16 hearing after a Virginia Beach woman alleged denial of funds for a non-life-threatening pregnancy. The decision hinges on interpretations of the Supreme Court ruling and health considerations beyond life danger.
