Hyde Amendment

Neither science nor religion supports it.

The United States Senate reportedly saved the Hyde Amendment by one vote after it narrowly blocked taxpayer funding for abortions.

Thanks to the vote of a single Democratic senator, a federal law prohibiting taxpayer funding of abortion may survive.

The Biden administration seeks to return to the Obama administration policy of allowing separate payments to be made together, undermining the clear text of the law.

A coalition of 22 attorneys general signed a letter to House and Senate leaders this week urging them to keep the Hyde Amendment in the next budget and thus oppose taxpayer-funded abortion.

On Monday, Meghan McCain delivered a stern warning to President Joe Biden, who claims to be a practicing Roman Catholic but whose politics vehemently opposes the official doctrines of his church.

Pro-life groups critical of president's abandonment of Hyde Amendment.

WASHINGTON — A group of pro-life Democrats and other pro-life activists gathered on Capitol Hill and across the country Saturday to oppose the exclusion of a long-standing ban on federal tax dollars being used to fund most abortions in a recently passed spending bill.
