Your ACLU link says the same as the one below so what is the point you're trying to make......a small, about 3%, of PP funding is used for abortions, I believe, under the conditions described by the two links we posted.... What does the law say on funding abortions? Title X does not allow federal funds to be used for abortions. Medicaid, however, does allow government money to be spent on them — in very restricted cases. The 1977 Hyde Amendment dictated that federal Medicaid funds could only be used to fund abortions in cases of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother. However, some states have expanded cases in which they will provide funds. Currently, 17 states allow funds to be used for "medically necessary" abortions. In those cases that these states count as medically necessary but that are not permitted by the federal guidelines, states cover the cost alone. npr.org
