Let’s pass the EACH Act to end the Hyde Amendment

It’s time to end abortion coverage bans. Let’s pass the EACH Act.

For 50 years, the Hyde Amendment has blocked federal health insurance programs—like Medicaid—from paying for abortions. This makes it very hard for low-income families, military members, Native Americans using the Indian Health Service, government workers, and others to afford this type of care.

The EACH Act will change that. It would end the Hyde Amendment so that everyone can get reproductive healthcare, no matter how much money they have.

Abortion is a normal part of healthcare, and most people who have one are already parents. Many people believe politicians shouldn't make private medical decisions for us. Getting abortion care is already difficult, and the cost makes it even harder.

Contact your representative in Congress and tell them to support the EACH Act!

Dear member of Congress:

As one of over a million members of MomsRising, I am writing to urge you to support and pass the EACH (Equal Access to Abortion Coverage) Act and to repeal the Hyde Amendment.

The Hyde Amendment restricts government funds from being used to cover an abortion—except in extremely limited circumstances. The Hyde Amendment excludes people who receive Medicaid, military personnel, federal employees, and Peace Corps volunteers, among others from accessing their legal right to abortion. Denying access to abortion solely due to one’s socioeconomic status is completely unacceptable.

The time is now to overturn a ban that has only harmed people and worsened inequalities for millions of mothers, women, and families for 50 years. We urge that you aim to enact policies that will protect and ensure abortion care such as the EACH Act, so that everyone can access this healthcare service.

A real pro-family agenda means giving people the freedom and support to make their own decisions about pregnancy and parenthood, ensuring that families have access to a full range of healthcare, paid leave, childcare, housing, and economic security.

It should not matter how much money you make—– EACH of us should be able to make personal medical decisions with our healthcare providers, without the interference of politicians. Now is the time to ensure that every person with the ability to give birth has access to the legal right to abortion care. Together we can protect access to reproductive health.

Sincerely,
