FACT SHEET: ABOUT THE HYDE AMENDMENT

The Hyde Amendment is language in the yearly Labor, Health and Human Services,
Education and Related Agencies (often shortened to Labor-H or LHHS)
appropriations legislation that bars programs in these agencies from covering
abortion. This restriction primarily withholds abortion coverage from those
qualified and enrolled in the Medicaid health insurance program for low-income
people, except in the limited cases of rape, incest, and life endangerment.

> The Hyde Amendment is designed to deprive poor and minority women of the
> constitutional right to choose abortion.”

-Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall (1980)

THE HYDE AMENDMENT PAVED THE WAY FOR OTHER FEDERAL ABORTION COVERAGE
RESTRICTIONS

Since the Hyde Amendment passed in 1976, anti-choice politicians have added
abortion coverage and funding bans to appropriations language  that restricts:
Medicaid, Medicare and Children’s Health Insurance Program enrollees; Federal
employees and their dependents; Peace Corps volunteers; Native Americans; women
in federal prisons and detention centers, including those detained for
immigration purposes; women who receive health care from community health
centers; survivors of human trafficking; and low-income women in the District of
Columbia.

REAL WORLD IMPACT OF THE HYDE AMENDMENT

 * Medicaid coverage can mean the difference between getting abortion care or
   being denied. Studies show that when policymakers place severe restrictions
   on Medicaid coverage of abortion, it forces one in four poor women seeking an
   abortion to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term.1
 * When a woman is living paycheck to paycheck, denying coverage for an abortion
   can push her deeper into poverty. Indeed, studies show that a woman who seeks
   an abortion but is denied is more likely to fall into poverty than one who is
   able to get an abortion.2
 * According to the most recent data, 58% of women of reproductive age enrolled
   in Medicaid or CHIP live in states that ban Medicaid coverage for abortion
   except in limited circumstances. 51% of these enrollees are women of color.3
 * The Hyde Amendment creates an often insurmountable barrier to abortion for
   women across the country already struggling to get affordable health care,
   and disproportionately affects those who are low-income, people of color,
   young, immigrants, or live in rural communities.

> The Hyde Amendment is not permanent law. Congress has the opportunity to lift
> the Hyde Amendment each year. Tell them to take action now.

TELL CONGRESS TO SUPPORT THE ABORTION JUSTICE ACT!

WE NEED TO GUARANTEE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO ABORTION AND ENSURE THAT EVERYONE CAN
GET ABORTION CARE WITHOUT POLITICIANS CREATING BARRIERS.


That’s why we need the Abortion Justice Act, a groundbreaking federal bill that
protects people’s right to make their own healthcare decisions about abortion,
improves availability and affordability, and prevents politicians from creating
barriers to care.
