The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Monday issued a complex opinion on a case involving the funding of abortions by Medicaid, finding that the right to “reproductive autonomy” is fundamental.
But the justices sent the case back to Commonwealth Court, ordering it to resolve lingering constitutional issues.
The ruling found that the 1982 Abortion Control Act, which prohibited Medicaid from paying for an abortion, is “presumptively unconstitutional” based on sex discrimination.
