  1. Bonsitu Kitaba, deputy #legal dir for the #ACLU of #Michigan, argued MI's ban on #Medicaid coverage for #abortion creates a "two-tiered system" between those who can afford #private #HealthInsurance for terminating a pregnancy & those who cannot. The deprivation, Kitaba said, infringes on the fundamental right to #ReproductiveFreedom & is #discriminatory since Medicaid covers #childbirth but not abortion.

  2. The filing on behalf of #YWCA #Kalamazoo in the Court of Claims comes 2 days after a judge in the SAME COURT blocked enforcement of other state #regulations on abortion in an order that found the state's 24-hr waiting period, #InformedConsent requirements & a ban on #abortions performed by advance practice clinicians violated the state's voter-approved #RightToAbortion.
