Congress is considering healthcare legislation that could quietly open the door to federal taxpayer-funded abortion. At this critical moment, Massachusetts residents must speak clearly and without hesitation.

Since 1976, the Hyde Amendment has protected Americans from being forced to pay for abortion through their federal tax dollars. Those protections have saved more than 2.6 million children. Hyde reflects a long-standing bipartisan understanding that abortion should not be funded by the federal government.

That protection is now at risk.

Some healthcare proposals under consideration, including extensions of COVID-era insurance subsidies, fall outside normal funding rules. Without explicit Hyde safeguards, these subsidies could be used to cover elective abortion. On January 6, 2026, President Trump suggested lawmakers should be “a little flexible on Hyde.” When the lives of preborn children are at stake, there is no room for flexibility.

You can take action right now. Using our secure online system, you can send a message directly to your U.S. Representative and both U.S. Senators in just minutes. Your message will urge them to ensure that Hyde protections apply to every healthcare bill and that no federal funds are used to pay for abortion.

Massachusetts members of Congress need to hear from their constituents today. Personal messages make a real impact, especially as these bills are being debated.

Please take a moment to speak out and defend preborn life. Your voice matters, and acting now can help prevent federal taxpayer-funded abortion.

Sincerely,

The MCFL Team
