Democrats Reintroduce Bill to Repeal Helms Amendment
Original: Schakowsky, Booker, Colleagues Reintroduce Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act to Repeal Harmful Helms Amendment
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, Senator Cory Booker and fellow Democrats have reintroduced the Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act, which would repeal the Helms Amendment, the decades-old US policy barring federal foreign aid funds from being used for abortion services overseas. Supporters argue the restriction harms women in low-income countries, while opponents continue to defend the longstanding prohibition.
Why now: The bill's reintroduction reignites debate over US abortion policy in foreign aid amid ongoing national abortion-rights fights.
