Nebraska votes this month on a bill that would provide prenatal care for all pregnant, low-income women regardless of immigrant status. The governor says he plans to veto, because tax-funded programs should only benefit full citizens. The bill is also backed by organizations that span the spectrum of opinions on fetal and maternal rights. [Ed.: the article is pro-tax funded care for such women. I expect many more bills of this type to arise, especially as the economy continues to decline.] (03/10/10)
