President Joe Biden’s promise to support abortion rights was reflected in his budget proposal to Congress for fiscal 2022.
Biden’s budget proposal, submitted Friday, does not include the Hyde Amendment, which denies insurance coverage for abortions to people who receive their health coverage through government-sponsored plans like Medicaid.

Wade, the Hyde Amendment makes the medical procedure essentially inaccessible for low-income women and many women of color.
