MILLER, Justice:

The Secretary of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (Department) appeals from an order of the Circuit Court of Kanawha County which held that W.Va.Code, 9-4-2 (1983), prohibits the use of state Medicaid funds to pay for abortions that do not qualify for federal reimbursement. We find that the circuit court erred, and that W.Va.Code, 9-4-2, does not prohibit these expenditures.
