Rhode Island Governor Daniel McKee signed a bill into law Thursday that would let state funds be used to pay for health insurance plans that cover state workers and Medicaid recipients seeking abortions
Rhode Island Governor Signs Bill to Fund Abortion for State Workers and Medicaid Recipients
McKee, a Democrat, said he was proud to sign the bill into law and include related funding in his state budget proposal. Democratic state Senator Bridget Valverde, one of the bill’s sponsors, said that despite a vote by Rhode Island lawmakers four years ago to enshrine the right to safe, legal abortion in the state, the work to help guarantee access to abortions was unfinished.
Opponents said the state shouldn’t require state taxpayers, including those with moral objections to the procedure, to cover the cost of abortions.
