Call for an end to bans on Medicaid funding of abortion: Sign the petition!
Today,
hundreds of thousands of people go hungry, risk eviction, and pawn
their possessions as they attempt to raise money for an abortion.
Repealing the "Hyde Amendment," which forbids federal funding for abortion in the Medicaid program, could change all that.
If we repeal the Hyde Amendment, lack of income wouldn't be a barrier
for the thousands of people qualified for Medicaid benefits who seek
abortion. Medicaid would again cover abortion care like it does every
other health care service we need. Congress also denies abortion
coverage to military personnel and their families, those receiving
care from Indian Health Services, and people on disability insurance.
Sign the petition below and join our call for coverage of abortion in public insurance programs as a part of comprehensive health care for all. Please also join our call for support for low-income families to care for their children with dignity. Take a stand for reproductive justice and a world in which all of us have the power and resources necessary to make healthy decisions about our bodies and our families.
Petition:
It is time for Congress to repeal the Hyde Amendment and restore Medicaid coverage for abortion. We must close the gap between the legal right to abortion and genuine access to care. I call on my Senators and House members to repeal the Hyde Amendment and ensure dignity and justice for all families.
