HB 895 (“Rosie's Law,“) a bill that restores Texas Medicaid coverage for abortion care for low-income Texans, did not get a chance to become law this legislative session.

But we need YOU to continue to fight for Rosie's Law, with or without the legislature!

TEA Fund, La Frontera Fund, and Lilith Fund partnered to introduce HB 895 or “Rosie's Law” during this year's legislative session. Rosie's Law is a historic piece of Texas legislation that protects the health of Texans by expanding access to abortion care. Rosie's Law honors the life of Rosie Jimenez, a Chicana from the Rio Grande Valley and the first known woman to die of an unsafe abortion after politicians passed a federal ban on public insurance coverage, the Hyde Amendment, in 1976.

Rosie's Law, filed by Rep. Sheryl Cole of Austin, did not get the hearing it deserved but we are determined to continue fighting on behalf of Texans that need abortion care.

The right to have an abortion is nothing more than symbolic if people are unable to access the care they need. This historic legislation could assist low income people in accessing abortion. Sign the pledge TODAY and commit to fighting for Rosie's Law no matter how long it takes!
