Portland Press Herald: Activists ready for abortion bill fight
Excerpt:
"Activists in the abortion debate are gearing up for a fight over whether the state should pay for the procedure for poor women.
A bill sponsored by Senate President Beth Edmonds, D-Freeport, would require the state to pay for abortions for women covered by MaineCare, the state's version of Medicaid. The federal-state program for the poor, elderly and disabled now covers abortion only in cases of rape, incest or when the woman's life is at risk."
