#BREAKING: The U.S. House Appropriations Committee has introduced a spending bill WITHOUT the Hyde Amendment! 👏 Congress’ bold move introducing a spending bill without this ban on abortion is just the beginning—we won’t stop until we #BeBoldEndHyde for good.
A statement from Nancy Northup, Center President and CEO: “We applaud the House Appropriations Committee, under the leadership of Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro, for introducing bills free from restrictions on coverage of abortion care...”
“...For more than 40 years, bans on abortion coverage, including the Hyde amendment and related restrictions, have denied insurance coverage of abortion for people working to make ends meet...”
🎉BREAKING🥳 President 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. #BeBoldEndHyde 
We know the harm of the Hyde Amendment falls hardest on people of color working to make ends meet. Biden’s #BeBoldEndHyde move prioritizes racial equity and economic security and we are HERE FOR IT 🙌🙌
Now, all 👀 on Congress to keep going for #AbortionJustice and pass federal spending bills without abortion coverage bans, including the Hyde Amendment. #BeBoldEndHyde

A statement from our President and CEO, Nancy Northup, on the inclusion of the Hyde Amendment in the annual spending bill.
"The House Majority has chosen once again to introduce its annual spending bill with the Hyde Amendment included."
"The House Majority has chosen once again to introduce its annual spending bill with the Hyde Amendment included."
"When will this nonsense stop, if not in the middle of a pandemic, a financial crisis, and when the horrible consequences of long-standing systemic racism are so blatantly evident."
"It is truly abhorrent that Congress continues to stand by and allow people to be denied coverage for abortion because they cannot afford it. This is discrimination, plain and simple, with women of color, and especially Black women, bearing the brunt of this cruel ban."
REMINDER: Monday’s #SCOTUS decision affirmed abortion rights, but many still struggle to get abortions due to sexist, classist, and racist policies like the Hyde Amendment. Let’s talk about the politician behind this cruel policy + why our #BeBoldEndHyde fight continues. 👇
Henry Hyde wanted to ban all abortions but settled for banning them just for people struggling to make ends meet.
Henry Hyde made his intentions crystal clear when he said: “I certainly would like to prevent, if I could legally, anybody having an abortion, a rich woman, a middle-class woman, or a poor woman. Unfortunately, the only vehicle available is the Medicaid bill.”
Today’s a sinister anniversary: the date that, a mere 3 years after #RoeVWade legalized abortion, Rep. Henry Hyde decided “Naw, f*ck that noise” and introduced the Hyde Amendment. There’s no nicer Dr. Jekyll version of him and he hurt more people than have read that book. 1/6
The Hyde amendment bars federal funds (read: Medicaid) from being spent on abortion. Hyde couldn't deprive everyone of their abortion rights (cuz #Roe), so he settled for just depriving the poor and vulnerable. Real swell dude. 2/6
Who's affected? Only the 21% of reproductive-age women who rely on Medicaid. For some, an abortion would cost 1/3 of their family's monthly income. Hyde protects your right to choose ... between eating and having an abortion. guttmacher.org/gpr/2017/01/re… 3/6
Last week, colleagues @Guttmacher and I put forward 9 key actions that #Congress should take to support sexual and reproductive rights during the #COVID19Pandemic. As they work on a fourth relief package, here's a reminder of what they should do:
guttmacher.org/article/2020/0…
guttmacher.org/article/2020/0…
1) Treat sexual and reproductive health care as the essential care it is. This includes ensuring that patients may continue to travel for reproductive health care even under any measures that restrict most commerce and travel. More on that here:
guttmacher.org/article/2020/0…
guttmacher.org/article/2020/0…
2) Protect and expand access to comprehensive health insurance coverage, including by supporting Medicaid and expanding ACA marketplace coverage:

"Government ought to stay out of the business of dictating to women what their reproductive health care choices ought to be."

@PeteButtigieg .@PeteButtigieg calls for federal legislation to codify Roe v. Wade and #BeBoldEndHyde to protect against statewide attacks on abortion access.
"I trust women to make the best decisions for themselves."

Hiiii @CNN & @nytimes, it’s us again. Think abortion access and ending the Hyde Amendment doesn’t matter to voters? We are paying attention up and down the ballot. #AskAboutAbortion #BeBoldEndHyde
@CNN @nytimes "Polling on the amendment has shifted significantly in the last 2 years. According to a Hart Associates poll released last week by RJ advocacy group @AllAboveAll, 62% of voters favor Medicaid coverage of abortion services, a 7% increase in support from a similar poll in 2017."
"Almost 70 percent of voters from 44 battleground districts support Medicaid coverage of abortion care, according to the poll.” -@transscribe #BeBoldEndHyde #AskAboutAbortion
Today is the 32nd Anniversary of the release of #DirtyDancing-- many people's 1st exposure to #reprojustice. Come, let's talk about it.
For many, #DirtyDancing is their first exposure to reproductive justice. What is #reprojustice? @SisterSong_WOC explains sistersong.net/reproductive-j…
@SisterSong_WOC In case you didn't know, the entire plot of #DirtyDancing is based on what happens when Penny can't access safe, legal abortion care and what it was like pre #RoeVWade.
I’m glad to see people talking about the need to repeal the #HydeAmendment & its effect on low-income folks especially WOC, QTPOC and more.. Lets also acknowledge why it even exists.. There has always been attempts to attack & regulate our bodies. This isn’t new #BeBoldEndHyde
The systems of White supremacy, patriarchy and misogyny have always tried to regulate the bodies of POC. From slavery, forced sterilization of Black & Brown people, and through Hyde, the sexual & Reproductive lives of POC have always been one of attacks, regulation & denial
So as you continue to raise awareness, know that POC have always been leading this fight.. Fighting for autonomous sexual lives free from shame & discrimination has always been the life of POC & low income folks. Center them

Senator McConnell is speaking on the Senate floor about passing a bill to deny women comprehensive health insurance covering all reproductive needs-- including abortion care. No mention of paying federal employees though. Tell your senators to vote no: bit.ly/NoOnS109
S109 would make the Hyde Amendment permanent-- meaning McConnell is pushing a bill to deny federal employees health insurance coverage of abortion care while blocking bills that would open the government & give them a paycheck. #WheresMitch bit.ly/NoOnS109 #NoOn109
Yesterday, we heard from a federal employee who, due to the #TrumpShutdown & the Hyde Amendment, is not able to afford the abortion care she needs. Fortunately, we were able to help her while she waits for a paycheck. prochoice.org/mcconnell-file… #WheresMitch #BeBoldEndHyde #VoteNo109

[Thread] The Hyde Amendment is a deliberate attack on low-income women’s reproductive freedom. #BeBoldEndHyde
The #HydeAmendment bans federal funding for abortion coverage through Medicaid. #BeBoldEndHyde bit.ly/2yavcpR
Abortion bans negatively impact health, economic security, & overall well-being of people of color. #BeBoldEndHyde
