Use of public funds to cover abortions under MinnesotaCare prohibition

SF 2954 amends Minnesota Statutes to restrict MinnesotaCare (the state health program for low-income residents) from covering abortions except in three specific cases: when the pregnancy endangers the mother's life, causes substantial bodily harm, or results from rape or incest. This bill directly affects MinnesotaCare enrollees who might seek abortion coverage, limiting public funding for the procedure under most circumstances. The key provision explicitly prohibits using state funds for abortion coverage outside these narrow exceptions. The bill does not change coverage for other health services under MinnesotaCare.
