Today marks 48 years since Congress first passed the Hyde Amendment, denying abortion coverage for people enrolled in Medicaid.
It's also the last day of our annual Abortion Care Justice Week of Action, so are you ready to take action?
Abortion coverage bans like Hyde have driven people deeper into poverty and forced 1 in 4 low-income women to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term. That's why we're fighting for legislation like the EACH Act and the Abortion Justice Act (AJA), which together will protect our right to make our own healthcare decisions about abortion, improve the availability and affordability of abortion care, and prevent politicians from creating barriers.
We need Congress to pass the EACH Act now. It takes less than a minute to advocate for All* our futures. Send a message to your representative, urging them to support the EACH Act—sign our petition now.
In solidarity,
Cara Schumann, Deputy Director of Federal Strategies
