Everyone deserves to decide whether and when to have children--it's one of the most momentous decisions we'll ever make. Yet every year during the budget process, politicians deny abortion coverage for those enrolled in federal insurance plans, including people enrolled in Medicaid and Medicare, Federal employees, Peace Corps volunteers, Native Americans receiving health care through Indian Health Services, people in federal prisons and detention centers, and people serving in the US military. These limitations, which disproportionately impact low-income women and families, are unjust and unconscionable. We urge President Obama to omit language restricting abortion coverage in the Fiscal Year 2014 budget to signify his commitment to protecting the reproductive rights of everyone in the US.
