A thought: consequent upon the Dobbs ruling that the federal government lacks the Constitutional power to regulate abortion, should not the Hyde Amendment and other restrictions on coverage for abortion be declared unconstitutional? 

Strategically, the constitutional path is unlikely to be effective; my suggestion would be to employ unintended consequences for the benefit of the “choice” supporters—i.e., since the Court has already ruled there is no federal power over abortion granted by the Constitution, it would seem appropriate for the Department of Justice to direct all agencies to comply with the decision by removing from their regulations any federally-imposed restrictions, such as Hyde.
