Prohibits states from providing Medicaid to certain noncitizens, which would bar them from using Medicaid to cover abortion services (except emergencies), so less public funding for abortions among this group.
provide that no medical assistance (other than such assistance for which payment is available pursuant to section 1903(v)(2)) is made available under such plan (or under a waiver of such plan) to an alien who is not lawfully admitted for permanent residence or otherwise permanently residing in the United States under color of law.

It also restricts abortion access by cutting off this population from Medicaid-funded abortions.
