I'm a bit confused by the "government funding" issue, by all indications it is quite limited, at least on the federal level. From agi-usa.org State Funding of Abortion for Medicaid Recipients (Federal matching funds are available for abortions sought by Medicaid recipients only in cases of life endangerment, rape or incest.) Sixteen states use their own funds to pay for medically necessary abortions sought by Medicaid recipients: California Connecticut Hawaii Idaho Illinois Maryland Massachusetts Minnesota Montana New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon Vermont Washington West Virginia Thirty-two states fund abortions for Medicaid recipients only when the woman's life is endangered or the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest: Alabama Alaska1 Arizona1 Arkansas Colorado Delaware Florida Georgia Indiana2 Iowa3 Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Michigan Missouri Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina Tennessee Texas Utah Virginia3 Wisconsin4 Wyoming Two states fund abortions for Medicaid recipients only when the woman's life is endangered:4 Mississippi South Dakota 1.These states are in violation of court orders that require them to fund all medically necessary abortions. 2.A court ruling in a case brought by five providers has required the state to fund all medically necessary abortions that these providers perform. 3.Funding is also available in some cases of fetal abnormality. 4.Funding is also available if, due to an existing medical condition, the procedure is necessary to prevent grave, long-lasting damage to the woman's physical health. 5.These states are in violation of federal Medicaid law, which requires states to fund abortions in cases of rape and incest, as well as in cases of life endangerment.
