Between 1973 and 1980, tax dollars paid for an estimated 300,000 abortions each year through Medicaid.* That stopped in 1980 when the Hyde Amendment took effect. It is required to pass every year, and the amendment has stopped organizations like Planned Parenthood from receiving direct Medicaid payment for abortion.
In 2016, the Democrat Party Platform was changed to explicitly demand repeal of the Hyde Amendment. To counter that action, the House of Representatives attempted to make the Hyde Amendment permanent. In January 2017, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Full Disclosure Act passed in the House but failed in the Senate. In June 2019, Joe Biden announced his opposition to the Hyde Amendment. Later that month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, “I wish we never had a Hyde Amendment… I don’t see that there’s an opportunity to get rid of it with the current occupant of the White House and this U.S. Senate.”**
The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Full Disclosure Act of 2025 has been introduced in the current 119th Congress (2025-2026) in both the House (H.R. 7) and Senate (S. 186). The legislation is currently in committee in both chambers. As of June 2026, H.R. 7 had 106 co-sponsors and S. 186 had 49 co-sponsors.
If passed, it will effectively end taxpayer funding for abortion in federal programs, prohibit federal funds for health coverage that includes abortions, and essentially make the Hyde Amendment permanent. If the Hyde Amendment is repealed—as Medicaid expands state-to-state—there will be a huge surge in taxpayer funding for abortion and the organizations that perform abortions will reap a financial windfall.
On July 4, 2025, the so called “One Big Beautiful Bill” stopped abortion providers from getting Medicaid dollars for one year. However, unless H.R. &/S. 186 are passed and signed by the President, or another legislative vehicle in 2026 extends the funding ban, providers will once again be able to use Medicaid dollars to fund abortions.
