\n

Pennsylvania\u2019s Republican attorney general is appealing last month\u2019s Commonwealth Court decision overturning a ban on using Medicaid to pay for abortions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attorney General Dave Sunday\u2019s office filed the appeal Tuesday in state Supreme Court, a month after the <\/span>lower court ruled in favor of a group of reproductive health care providers<\/span><\/a> from across the state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Listen to Peter\u2019s audio recap:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The state Department of Human Services, which oversees Medicaid, is the defendant in the case, but Gov. Josh Shapiro announced in 2024 that <\/span>his administration would no longer defend<\/span><\/a> the prohibition in the commonwealth\u2019s Abortion Control Act, saying the measure is unconstitutional.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sunday, who took office in January 2024, was permitted to intervene as a new attorney general. He said in a statement Wednesday that his office has the responsibility to defend the commonwealth\u2019s laws and the notice of appeal fulfills that requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy responsibility as Attorney General is to defend the rule of law and defend statutes without interference of personal opinion or political posturing,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Opponents of the ban, which took effect in 1982, said Sunday\u2019s decision to appeal will prolong a denial of full reproductive rights for Pennsylvanians. Medicaid is a crucial lifeline providing health insurance coverage to millions of low-income or disabled people in the commonwealth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s clear that Dave Sunday wants to play politics with abortion care,\u201d Planned Parenthood PA Advocates Executive Director Signe Espinoza said. \u201cEvery day that passes while people are unable to access that critical care with their Medicaid coverage is on him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In its April 20 decision, the Commonwealth Court panel ruled 4-3 that the coverage exclusion contained in the Abortion Control Act was unconstitutional sex-based discrimination.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the finding was sufficient for the court to be finished with the case, the majority took an additional step in declaring the right to an abortion is fundamental under the state constitution. The commonwealth\u2019s justification for any infringement of the right is held to the highest degree of legal scrutiny, the majority said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That means the state can restrict that right only when it has a compelling interest in doing so.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his opinion for the majority, Judge Matthew S. Wolf said Sunday\u2019s office had failed to show either a compelling state interest or that the exclusion was the least restrictive way to accomplish its interest.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDefending discrimination in our state constitution is not only cruel; it goes against what the majority of Pennsylvanians want and what our courts have decided,\u201d Espinoza said. \u201cWe will remember this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Because the case originated in Commonwealth Court, the attorney general\u2019s office has a right to appeal in the Supreme Court. Sunday\u2019s appeal will be the second time the high court has been asked to review a decision in the case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In January 2024, the Supreme Court revived the abortion providers\u2019 case after the Commonwealth Court dismissed it in 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In that 3-2 decision, the Supreme Court overturned its own 42-year-old decision that upheld the constitutionality of the Abortion Control Act\u2019s ban on Medicaid-funded abortions except in cases of rape or incest. The Commonwealth Court cited that decision as the basis for dismissing the lawsuit.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
