Lawmakers Reintroduce Bill to Repeal Helms Amendment
Original: Schakowsky, Booker, Colleagues Reintroduce Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act to Repeal Harmful Helms Amendment
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, Senator Cory Booker and fellow Democrats have reintroduced the Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act, legislation that would repeal the Helms Amendment. The decades-old measure blocks US foreign aid from funding abortion services overseas. Supporters argue the restriction denies safe care to women in low-income countries, while opponents back the long-standing funding ban.
Why now: The reintroduction puts US abortion funding policy back in focus amid ongoing domestic and global debate over reproductive rights.
