Comments

ACLU-VA Women's Rights and Reproductive Freedom, tracking this bill in Photosynthesis, notes:

The ACLU of Virginia strongly opposes Budget Amendments 4-5.04 2h and 4-5.04 5h, which repeal funding for Medicaid-eligible women who seek abortion after a physician certifies in writing that the fetus has an incapacitating physical or mental anomaly. By holding back healthcare assistance funds from women who qualify for them, politicians are to attempting to control women’s healthcare decisions just because they disagree with some women’s decisions. This is wrong – a woman’s healthcare decisions must be left to her and her doctor. Medicaid-eligible women in Virginia should not face limited reproductive healthcare options just because they are poor. Though we can each have different personal feelings about abortion, it’s not okay for some politicians to withhold health care assistance funds from women who qualify for them. We can use the resources our Commonwealth has to make sure that each woman is truly able to make a real decision about whether to have an abortion.
