Sign Now: Protect every woman's choice!
For over 40 years, the Hyde Amendment has denied women use of Medicaid insurance for abortion services. It exemplifies the nexus of deeply entrenched economic injustice, racism, and gender inequity -- and it needs to go.
Reproductive health is a vital component of a woman's overall health, and a woman's freedom to make reproductive decisions is vital to her safety, well-being, economic opportunity, and ability to participate equitably in society. Yet, all too often women's health is misunderstood, restricted, obstructed, or just ignored in our nation's halls of power.
Every woman, no matter her economic status, needs and deserves access to a range of safe, affordable, and comprehensive reproductive health care services throughout her life. These include cancer and sexually transmitted infection screenings, contraceptive services, abortion care, prenatal care, and labor and delivery services. Any interference from the federal government is reprehensible -- and, frankly, it's economically short sighted too.
After over 40 years, change can't wait any longer! Please join Ayanna Pressley in telling Congress we won't accept the status quo any more: Sign on now to demand Congress repeal the Hyde Amendment and protect every woman's choice
