March for Life Statement on Elimination of Hyde Amendment from Annual Appropriations Bill
Pro-abortion Democrats have again eliminated pro-life riders including the Hyde, Weldon, and Dornan amendments – among others – from the spending bill. These important provisions protect the American public from funding or providing abortions against their will. Consistent polling shows that a majority of Americans want these protections. It is time codify these popular and common-sense riders into law by passing the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortions Act. No one should be forced to compromise their values, but especially not on this life-or-death issue.”
