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 wom…
