Support and stated goals: The release says more than 80 House members support the effort, with Reps. Diana DeGette, Ayanna Pressley, Norma Torres and Marilyn Strickland listed as co-leads. Supporters said the measure would expand access to reproductive health services abroad; the release also notes endorsements from several reproductive health and human rights groups.
Background on Helms Amendment: According to the release, the Helms Amendment, enacted in 1973, limits the use of U.S. foreign assistance for abortion as a method of family planning.
