If the lawsuit succeeds, Pennsylvania will join 16 other states that cover abortion through Medicaid.
Fischer v. Department of Public Welfare
“Health care is a human right, and people deserve the right to decide if and when they want to become pregnant free of stigma,” said Signe Espinoza, executive director of Planned Parenthood Pennsylvania Advocates. “For too long, Pennsylvania’s harmful Medicaid ban on abortion coverage has not given Pennsylvanians this freedom.”
Pennsylvania’s restrictions on abortion services delay access to abortion health care and increase the costs. The state’s mandated 24-hour waiting period requires women to make extra unnecessary trips to clinics to obtain abortion health care.of Pennsylvania women live in those counties without an abortion provider, so they have to travel long distances and incur additional expenses for transportation, food, overnight accommodations and child care.
