Some people in the U.S. are being denied the basic human right to make their own decisions about their health and their families, including abortion, simply because of their immigration status.
People who are undocumented and immigrants in mixed status families face even more barriers:
The freedom to care for ourselves and provide a better life for our families should not depend on our immigration status.
Abortion justice for immigrants can’t wait.
States with thriving immigrant communities like Texas have used the pandemic to ban abortion altogether.
When politicians target low-income people with abortion coverage bans and restrictions, immigrants often pay the price.
Immigrants are barred for five years from enrolling in federal health insurance programs, denying them access to life-saving health care services, including abortion care. The LIFT the Bar Act would allow many immigrants to enroll in programs like Medicaid without waiting periods.
