Hyde Amendment Marks 50 Years as Critics Demand Repeal

Original: The Hyde Amendment’s 50th Anniversary: Enough is Enough

The Hyde Amendment, the decades-old ban on federal Medicaid funding for most abortions, marks its 50th anniversary. Reproductive rights advocates, including Public Health Reproductive Justice groups, are using the milestone to renew calls for its repeal, arguing the policy has blocked abortion access for low-income women for half a century. Supporters of the amendment defend it as a safeguard for taxpayers. The anniversary lands amid ongoing national battles over abortion funding following the fall of Roe v. Wade.

Why now: The amendment's 50th anniversary has prompted advocates to renew campaigns against the abortion funding ban.
