Today, the Biden administration released their fiscal year 2025 budget eliminating the Hyde Amendment for the fourth consecutive year since President Biden took office.
Nourbese Flint, President of All* Above All released the following statement:
“We’re glad to see that for the fourth year in a row, the Biden administration recommitted to ending the Hyde Amendment by eliminating this decades-old policy, which disproportionately impacts people working to make ends meet and Black and Brown people. The harm of Hyde is now compounded by the fallout of the Dobbs decision. Ahead of a presidential election where our fundamental freedoms are on the line, Congress must act with urgency to end this cruel restriction once and for all so that no one is denied abortion coverage just because they’re working to make ends meet. Abortion justice can’t wait.”
