Support repealing the Hyde Amendment.
Occurrences
I am proud to help champion the EACH Act, bold legislation that will guarantee women in New Hampshire and across the country can access the reproductive healthcare they need, regardless of how they get their health insurance.
Evidence
"I support repealing the Hyde Amendment to ensure that abortion care is covered through public health insurance programs – the right to an abortion should not depend on whether you have the financial resources to access it."
Congresswoman Goodlander helped introduce the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH) Act as an original cosponsor. The press release says the bill "ends the discriminatory Hyde Amendment."
Assessments
Goodlander promised to support repealing the Hyde Amendment. In office, she acted consistently with that promise by serving as an original cosponsor of the EACH Act, legislation described as ending the Hyde Amendment. Because the commitment was to support repeal rather than guarantee enactment, this legislative support fulfills the promise during the same term.
