What does FINDINGS. of EACH Act of 2025 do?

This section outlines findings related to access to abortion services in the United States. It notes that all people should have access to abortion services regardless of various demographic factors. The text highlights that a person's income or insurance status should not prevent access to pregnancy-related healthcare, including abortion. Following the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, several states have banned or restricted abortion access, impacting millions of women. Federal funding restrictions, such as the Hyde Amendment, limit abortion coverage for individuals insured through Medicaid and other federally funded programs. A significant portion of Medicaid enrollees are women, and disproportionately higher numbers of women of color and LGBTQ individuals are enrolled. Many young people and children rely on government programs for health insurance, and restrictions on abortion coverage disproportionately affect low-income individuals, women of color, immigrants, LGBTQ people, and young women. The Indian Health Service (IHS) has been barred from providing abortion services since 1988, impacting American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Restrictions on abortion coverage interfere with individual decision-making, economic security, and safety from intimate partner violence. The text asserts that access to healthcare, including abortion, promotes general welfare and that funding restrictions have negative consequences for individuals and communities.
