Posts - Bill - HR 719 No Abortion Coverage for Medicaid Act
house 01/24/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure that federal Medicaid and CHIP demonstration projects do not use taxpayer funds to cover elective abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or when the individual's health is at serious risk. Our goal is to align funding policies with the Hyde Amendment and clarify that these protections apply to all related health programs.

A patchwork approach to abortion funding means women in some states might get care, while others lose out—where’s the fairness in that?

Finally, some muscle to keep taxpayer dollars from funding abortions—Hyde Amendment deserves respect.

Cutting off abortion coverage for Medicaid is just putting politics before people’s health—when will lawmakers get off our backs?

Saying no to pilot projects funding abortion is just common sense—federal funds should never cross that line.

If you don’t want your money paying for abortions, this bill is a no-brainer; taxpayers shouldn’t fund what they morally oppose.

Limiting pilot projects might save money now, but could cost states the data they need to craft sound healthcare policies later.
left-leaning 01/24/2025
Making abortion access a privilege instead of a right is a dangerous step backward cloaked in 'fiscal responsibility.'
left-leaning 01/24/2025
This bill is Medicaid malpractice disguised as compassion; healthcare isn’t a partisan game.

Balancing budget priorities with health rights again—this one’s a tough tightrope walk.
