In the summer of 1988, we surveyed all states to evaluate access to Medicaid funding for abortion after the diagnosis of an anomalous fetus. All state Medicaid programs covered amniocentesis, and most had expanded coverage to include newer prenatal diagnostic procedures for eligible women. In 29 states, however, abortion coverage was limited to instances when continuation of abortion threatens the life of the mother. Only 13 states paid for a woman on Medicaid to obtain an abortion after diagnosis of an anomalous fetus.
1988年夏天，我们对所有州进行了调查，以评估在诊断出胎儿异常后获得医疗补助计划（Medicaid）堕胎资金的情况。所有州的医疗补助计划都涵盖羊膜穿刺术，并且大多数已扩大覆盖范围，将符合条件的妇女的更新产前诊断程序包括在内。然而，在29个州，堕胎保险仅限于继续妊娠会危及母亲生命的情况。只有13个州为参加医疗补助计划的妇女在诊断出胎儿异常后堕胎提供费用。
