@napawf.orgThen, check if they're already a cosponsor of the EACH Act at www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
If not, ask them to support the EACH Act!
@napawf.orgWant to tell your Representative & Senators to support the EACH Act? First, look up your members of Congress at napawf.org/findyourelec...
@napawf.orgThe Hyde Amendment poses a major barrier between millions of AANHPI women and access to abortion care. The EACH Act would end the Hyde Amendment, require abortion coverage in government health plans and programs, and protect private insurers that choose to cover abortion care.
@napawf.orgAmong abortion patients in states where Medicaid is not restricted from covering abortion, 45.5 percent of Asian respondents said they used Medicaid to pay for their abortion.
@napawf.orgThis rule is a violation of our reproductive freedoms and has been deeply harmful to AANHPI women+. About 4.62m Asian women & 613,000 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women are enrolled in Medicaid.
@napawf.orgToday is the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Hyde Amendment, a law that prohibits the use of federal funds for abortion, with narrow exceptions.
@abortionfunds.bsky.socialReposted by @napawf.orgOur hearts are with survivors today and always. Abortion funds and clinics are often support systems for survivors in the aftermath of sexual violence, and we always will be.
Please take care of yourselves during this heavy news cycle and know that we're in this fight with you: nnaf.org/1n.
