For decades, lawmakers have used the Hyde Amendment to restrict abortion care. Restricting Medicaid coverage forces one in four pregnant women seeking an abortion to carry a pregnancy to term against their will. It’s time to #BeBoldEndHyde.

Restrictions on abortion have far reaching consequences. A study from @TheGepi shows pregnant people in U.S. states with abortion bans are nearly 3x more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth or soon after giving birth than those in supportive states.

"Let’s be clear about the impact of the Hyde Amendment: it targets people working to make ends meet, taking away their fundamental freedom to make their own decisions about abortion."

Support the Center and help achieve a world where every person participates with dignity as an equal member of society, regardless of gender.
