  Since the nineties, Minnesota has been one of the few states
that provided Medicaid-funded abortions. Following the 1995 case
Doe v. Gomez, Minnesota’s supreme court ruled that if the state
was to cover costs associated with pregnancy, it must also cover
those associated with abortion, or it would place “undue
financial constraints,” on women seeking out terminations,
essentially limiting the right to an abortion only to those with
financial means.  The state’s anti-choice politicians have taken
aim at the ruling before, attempting legislation to end
“taxpayer funding” of abortions in an attempt to challenge Doe,
but even in the most recent attempt, when the state had the
greatest number of anti-choice legislators in history, the
legislation was vetoed by the governor. Now, Minnesota Family
Council, one of the biggest opponents to Doe’s decision, has
found a new way to try and change the law. Start a new lawsuit.
