Undercover call shows Medicaid pays for $9000 late-term abortions in New Mexico

Congress continues to debate whether or not to remove taxpayer-funded abortion from ObamaCare. Though a pro-life victory on the issue was won in the House, defeat is almost certain in the Senate.  Meanwhile, Operation Rescue has unveiled a new video revealing that Medicaid-funding of expensive late-term abortion continues in many states. The video includes dialogue between an undercover pro-life activist and Southwestern Women’s Options (SWO) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The activist pretended to be a woman who is at 26-weeks gestation and is seeking abortion because her husband has lost his job. She is advised by SWO that she can obtain an abortion at no charge through Medicaid and that the procedure’s cost is about $9,000.

Though much has been done to educate the American public about the evils of abortion, and while a large percentage of Americans remain opposed to public funding of this hideous procedure, clearly we are still a very long way from achieving the goal of defunding even very expensive and brutal late-term abortions that are performed for almost any reason whatsoever. We are farther still from the goal — the most important of all in America — to end abortion once and for all.
