š Some good news for today. Weāll take it!!! Tweet & words below via allaboveall š. In case you donāt know, the Hyde Amendment (implemented in 1976) has blocked federal Medicaid funding for abortion services (since 1994, there have beenĀ three extremely narrow exceptions: when continuing the pregnancy will endanger the patientāsĀ life, or when the pregnancy results from rape or incest). This meansĀ MedicaidĀ cannot cover abortion even when a patientās health is at risk and their doctor recommends they get an abortion.

šPresident Biden kept his campaign promise and just released a budget without the Hyde Amendment. YOU DID THAT! Our 130+ orgs coalition DID THAT. We love to see
#AbortionJustice in action.
