John –
Today, we are thrilled that President Biden has kept his campaign
promise by submitting his budget without the Hyde Amendment. This
marks the first time in decades that a president has submitted a
budget without the Hyde Amendment!
Ending the Hyde Amendment in his presidential budget fits squarely
within President Biden’s stated priorities of racial equity and
economic security. It is also in line with the majority of the
public—6 in 10 Americans—who believe Medicaid insurance should cover
abortion services, just as it covers other pregnancy-related care. Tell President Biden you are part of the majority and
say thanks!
Thank President Biden for removing the Hyde Amendment
from his budget.
This historic step would not have been possible without the
leadership of women of color, who have been organizing in their
communities and educating elected leaders on the impact of this policy
and why we need it gone. Now, it’s up to Congress to continue this
momentum and pass federal appropriations bills without abortion
coverage bans, including the Hyde Amendment. Take a moment to say thanks to President Biden and
join us as we take our fight to Congress next.
Thanks
for all you do,
Morgan Hopkins, Director of Political Strategies All* Above
