Dingell–Demint Amendment

The Dingell–DeMint Amendment was a proposed change to U.S. health care legislation aimed at reducing federal funding for abortion coverage. It sought to prevent federal dollars from paying for abortions, except in cases such as rape, incest, or to save the mother’s life. The amendment was part of broader debates around access to abortion and the role of government funding in reproductive services. Its intent was to limit federal financial support for abortion, aligning with some policymakers’ views on restricting public funding for abortion procedures.
