According to current Minnesota law, pregnant women on the General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC) program are supposed to be transferred to the Medical Assistance program, so GAMC would not be involved in paying for any abortions.
But the most recent statistics from the Minnesota Department of Human Services reveal that in 2007 there were 68 abortions paid for by GAMC funds at a cost of more than $25,000 to Minnesota taxpayers.
