"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from Unborn Child, In re, 179 Misc.2d 1, 683 N.Y.S.2d 366 (N.Y. Fam. Ct. 1998):
In Parks v. Harden, 504 F.2d 861, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi at Aberdeen held that unborn children are eligible individuals under the Social Security Act, and the states' denial of AFDC benefits to expectant mothers strictly on the basis of the fetal status of their children contravenes the Act and is violative of the supremacy clause.
