In response to House Republicans\u2019 last-minute budget provision that would threaten health care funding and target reproductive freedoms, <\/em>DNC Spokesperson Aida Ross released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump and House Republicans are trying to sneak in a dangerous provision into their budget bill that could further rip away reproductive health care across the country. Trump is trying to intimidate states that have stood up to his dangerous abortion bans, threatening to cut off critical federal health care funding for millions of Americans if they don\u2019t bend the knee. Trump and House Republicans are ripping away women\u2019s reproductive care brick by brick, paving the way for a national abortion ban.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a last-minute addition to their dangerous budget bill, House Republicans moved to gut reproductive freedoms by threatening states\u2019 health care funding. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTUS<\/a>: \u201cThe reconciliation bill has given Republicans a way to target abortion access in states that legally protect it: threatening their federal health care funding.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHouse Republicans added a last-minute provision to their reconciliation bill via a manager\u2019s amendment that would block certain Affordable Care Act funds from going to state health plans that cover abortion services. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf the provision becomes law, it could force state officials to choose between maintaining abortion accessibility and ensuring that residents maintain their health care coverage. <\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Hyde Amendment already bans federal funds from being used directly on abortion. The Affordable Care Act prohibits recipients from using cost-sharing reductions \u2014 financial assistance to lower the out-of-pocket costs for low-income individuals \u2014 to pay for abortions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHowever, the reconciliation bill takes that limitation further, saying that health plans that cover abortion services cannot receive federally funded cost-sharing reductions at all. That could threaten financial assistance for all residents of a state. In 2024, half of all people enrolled in an ACA health plan qualified for cost-sharing reductions, per the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump administration overturned the Biden-Harris administration\u2019s efforts to ensure pregnant women can access emergency medical care in the face of extreme abortion bans. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Post<\/a>: \u201cThe Trump administration has rescinded Biden-era guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortions when necessary to stabilize a patient\u2019s health \u2014 even in states that ban the procedure. \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Biden administration had issued the guidance in July 2022, weeks after the Supreme Court overturned <\/strong>Roe v. Wade<\/em><\/strong>, ending the national right to abortion, to clarify that a federal law guaranteeing emergency care for patients in peril took precedence over state abortion bans.<\/strong> It later sued Idaho in federal court to enforce penalties against hospitals that disregarded the federal policy to adhere to the state\u2019s strict abortion ban.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under his Project 2025 agenda, Donald Trump is attacking women\u2019s reproductive rights and trying to ban abortion nationwide while invading the privacy of millions of American women.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy describing a fetus as a person from conception, Trump has legitimized fetal personhood.<\/strong> \u2026 The legal language employed by fetal personhood also effectively categorizes any person receiving an abortion at any stage as a murderer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTUS<\/a>: <\/strong>\u201cAnti-abortion advocates say having allies in the cabinet will set the tone for abortion policies in the administration. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrump\u2019s agency picks could make changes that would have nationwide implications on abortion access.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
