NARAL Pro-Choice America
_____________________________
Today NARAL Pro-Choice America commemorates Indigenous Peoples’ Day,
pledging to fight alongside indigenous peoples in their struggle for
racial, environmental, economic, and social justice, and specifically,
recommitting ourselves to the repeal of the Hyde Amendment.
The Hyde Amendment prevents the Indian Health Service (IHS) from using
federal funds to cover abortion, creating one of the worst racial
disparities in abortion access in the nation — and fundamentally denying
Native women bodily autonomy, perpetuating a cycle of generational state
violence against Native women’s reproductive freedom.^1,2

the injustice of the Hyde Amendment by sharing this graphic featuring Rep.
Deb Haaland, a reproductive freedom champion and one of the first Native
women elected to Congress →

country. Rep. Deb Haaland, D-NM #IndigenousPeoplesDay
In solidarity,
Team NARAL
