Abstract
This research examines the politics of funding abortions for low-income women in the American states. State policies on abortion funding reflected the relative strength of citizen groups on both sides of the issue and an array of partisan forces. After policy adoption, the number of abortions funded was determined by public policy and the relative demand for abortion services.Keywords
