Across the country, the government is increasingly interfering in the most private medical decisions of pregnant women — from court-ordered surgeries to criminal prosecutions for pregnancy outcomes.

This Medicaid Awareness Month, MomsRising is fighting to protect Medicaid Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS). These essential services allow older adults and people with disabilities to live and age with dignity in their own homes rather than in costly institutions. With federal funding under attack, your voice is needed to tell Congress to safeguard this critical care infrastructure.
