Nevada to Let Women Use Taxpayer Funds to Pay for Abortions

Countdown to Republicans calling this racist…

New York Post:

Nevada is set to become the 18th state to allow low-income pregnant women to use Medicaid funds to pay for abortions.

The state government declined to appeal a judge’s ruling earlier this year that found denying coverage for abortions violated Nevada’s equal rights protections adopted by voters in 2022.

It’s unclear when the coverage will begin, but the ruling judge said it should be no later than early November.

Nevadans who have Medicaid as their health insurance will no longer need to fear that they will be forced to carry a pregnancy against their will,” Rebecca Chan, a lawyer with the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, which sued in the case, said.

The issue of abortion has become a key voter issue across the country since 2022 when the US Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, which had federally guaranteed abortion access for women for half a century.

I guess the Republicans would be partially right to call this “racist” as it is obviously about killing black children.

But of course, the black mothers want to kill those children.

So it’s a way to lower the black population that is not actually racist.

The “fear” of being “forced” into pregnancy is such bizarre language.

There is one really easy way to not get pregnant. It’s the one thing a woman cannot do.
