Planned Parenthood Wants to Force Every American to Fund Abortions

On Monday Planned Parenthood — the nation’s largest abortion provider — renewed calls for congress to end the Hyde Amendment and pass legislation paying for abortions with taxpayer funds.

The Hyde Amendment is a bipartisan budget provision that generally prevents taxpayer funds from being used to pay for abortions except in cases of rape or incest or when the mother’s life or physical health are in jeopardy. Without the Hyde Amendment, public funding could be used to pay for abortions for any reason.

The Hyde Amendment is a bipartisan compromise that has existed since the 1970s, but debate over the measure has escalated in recent years.

For example, in 2016 and 2020, Planned Parenthood began calling for the repeal of the Hyde Amendment.

As a U.S. Senator, President Biden supported the Hyde Amendment, but he reversed his position during his presidential campaign in 2019 and 2020.

In 2020 and 2021 liberals in Washington began pushing to propose a federal budget that would permit taxpayer-funded abortions.

Planned Parenthood’s statement on Monday called for Congress to end the Hyde Amendment and pass the EACH Act — a law that would pay for abortions with taxpayer funds.

Public opinion polling has shown time and again that Americans overwhelmingly oppose taxpayer-funded abortion.

Abortion ends the lives of unborn children. Repealing the Hyde Amendment would hurt women and unborn children, and it would be grossly out of step with will of everyday Americans.
