House Democrats want taxpayers to pick up the tab for a host of abortion-related services, including travel, hotels, childcare, 'escorts' and 'doula care,' as part of a bill timed to the one-year anniversary of Dobbs v. Jackson.
by Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Massachusetts Democrat, would circumvent the Hyde Amendment’s ban on federal funds for abortion by earmarking $350 million annually for grants to “increase abortion access or support individuals who need abortion access.”
Insurance companies would be required to cover abortions, and the Affordable Care Act’s provision that recipients must be ‘‘lawfully present in the United States” would be eliminated. The bill comes with Democrats decrying the Supreme Court’s decision one year ago in Dobbs v. Jackson, which overturned Roe v. Wade and sent abortion decision-making to the states.
