A doctor weighs in on replacing processed meat with nuts, tofu, and beans—plus other diet tips for lowering dementia risk.

In This Article For 50 years, the Hyde Amendment has restricted federal health programs like Medicaid from covering abortion care, unfairly burdening low-income and working families. * The Hyde Amendment strips abortion coverage from federal health programs, creating severe barriers to care for families, military personnel, and public employees. * The EACH Act offers a critical solution to overturn the Hyde Amendment and ensure equal access to reproductive health care for everyone regardless of income. * MomsRising is urging members to tell Congress to pass the EACH Act and guarantee health care access for all. The Ongoing Harm of the Hyde Amendment For 50 years, the Hyde Amendment has harmfully stopped federal health programs — like Medicaid — from paying for abortion care. [1] This leaves many low-income families, military families, Indigenous people who receive care through the Indian Health Service, Peace Corps volunteers and government employees unable to afford the care they need. This is urgent. People are dying and the Hyde Act has always been a problem. In fact, soon after the Hyde Amendment passed in 1976, Rosie Jimenez died because she could not afford a safe, legal abortion. [2] She left behind a young daughter and a loving family. Pass the EACH Act Now Explainer: Fifty years of harm is enough. Tell Congress to pass the EACH Act and expand reproductive health care access for all.Take Action →4,084 people have taken action recently How the EACH Act Restores Reproductive Freedom The EACH Act would fix this. It would end the Hyde Amendment and make sure everyone can get reproductive health care, no matter how much money they make. Demand that your Congressional representative sign onto the EACH Act! Right now, many lawmakers from both parties support this bill. There are 202 supporters in the House and 34 in the Senate, but we need your help to get it across the finish line. [3, 4] Abortion care is health care. And most people who have abortions are already parents. [5] Politicians should not interfere with our personal health choices. Sign our letter to urge your member of Congress to support the EACH Act today! Protecting Care for Working Families Pregnancy does not follow a single path. It can end in childbirth, miscarriage, or abortion, and people deserve care through every outcome. Yet a 50-year-old federal rule often treats abortion differently from other pregnancy-related care. For decades, the harmful Hyde Amendment has carved abortion out of Medicaid coverage for no medical reason — only a political one. This leaves working families, military and federal employees to cover the cost alone. That’s unfair and leaves too many people without the support they need during one of the most important moments of their lives. Banning abortion doesn’t end abortion — it just ends safe, legal abortion. The EACH Act will ensure that this harmful ban will be overturned. It is more important than ever to have an outpouring of support from constituents like you for the EACH Act.   References [1] The Hyde Amendment & Coverage for Abortion Services Under Medicaid in the Post-Roe Era [2] Abortion Funds and the Legacy of Rosie Jiménez [3] H.R.4611 - EACH Act of 2025 [4] S.2377 - EACH Act of 2025 [5] The majority of women who seek abortions are already mothers
