The 12 states that have not expanded Medicaid have abortion restrictions: Number of states that have expanded Medicaid by abortion policy status
| Medicaid expansion | No Medicaid expansion | |
|---|---|---|
| Abortion-protected | 25 | 0 |
| Abortion-restricted | 14 | 12 |
Notes: This figure is updated to 2022. While a ballot initiative in South Dakota to expand Medicaid succeeded in November 2022, it will not be implemented until mid-2023. Therefore, South Dakota is still counted in the “No Medicaid expansion” category.
