Dear John,

Today marks 43 years since Congress first passed the Hyde Amendment, and for more than four decades, people enrolled in Medicaid have been denied access to abortion coverage - hurting low-income folks, particularly women of color.

But the tide is changing, thanks to BOLD work by women of color who are working to undo these injustices.  The public is with us on ending the Hyde Amendment, and we’ve got the numbers to prove it. 

We released an exciting new poll today that shows 62 % of voters believe Medicaid should provide insurance coverage for abortion.  In battleground congressional districts, the numbers are even higher - nearly 70% support Medicaid coverage of abortion.

The numbers don’t lie-and it’s long past time for our elected officials to do what’s right and end the Hyde Amendment once and for all.  Today, we’re asking you to be BOLD and let  your representatives know that the time is now to listen to the majority and stop making abortion dependent on a woman’s income.

Thanks for all you do,

All* Above All
