Ibis celebrates the introduction of the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH Woman) Act

July 2015

Ibis celebrates the introduction of the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH Woman) Act, introduced on July 8 by Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) and backed by more than 60 members of Congress. Ibis is proud to endorse this bill, which would lift funding bans that deny abortion coverage to women around the country. We have been committed to documenting and understanding the negative effects of funding bans since 2007, and hope lawmakers will recognize the demonstrated harmful impact and pass this important bill. Access to safe, affordable, and high-quality abortion care is a critical aspect of a woman’s ability to control her reproductive health, and we applaud this groundbreaking effort to ensure all women, regardless of income, can access the care they need.
