Chief Justice Ginsburg: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v.
McRae — in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the
use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time
Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and
particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion.
