Pa. Medicaid now covers abortion, but for how long? AG, pro-life groups wage an appeals fight
Pennsylvania Medicaid now covers abortion procedures as of July 16, following a court decision overturning the state's prior ban except for cases of rape, incest, or maternal endangerment. Pro-life groups and the state Attorney General are appealing the decision to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, arguing against using taxpayer funds for abortions.
