The State Abortion Fund has a number of restrictions on it.

Under state regulations, the fund may only help pay for abortions for women who are pregnant because of rape or incest or whose lives are endangered, not merely impaired. A written statement from a state-certified doctor is required.

In addition, women must have an income below the federal poverty level ($14,000 a year in 2008 for a two-person household) and not be eligible for Medicaid. All requests must receive prior approval from the state Division of Social Services. 

The woman may not have been pregnant for more than 140 days (five months) unless the woman's life is endangered and the Division of Social Services approves.

Minors may only receive abortions with the consent of a parent or the head of a local foster care agency who has received court approval.
