22 State AGs Urge Congress to Ban Taxpayer Funding of Abortions

Dr. Susan Berry 22 Jun 2021

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is leading a coalition of 22 state attorneys general in a call upon Congress to restore the Hyde Amendment to federal spending bills and prohibit taxpayer funding of abortions.

National pro-life leaders assert the Biden-Harris administration is the most pro-abortion in history. Under the guise of “equity,” and declaring abortion is the equivalent of “women’s health care,” Biden and his supporters have vowed to eliminate the longstanding Hyde Amendment, a move that is forcing Americans to fund abortion, even those with faith beliefs and moral standards that forbid it.

“The Hyde Amendment was first enacted in 1976 following the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade, and has been reenacted every year since with broad bipartisan support,” Marshall wrote, adding:


--- Quote ---The key to the Hyde Amendment’s four-and-a-half-decades longevity is that its purpose is clear and commonsensical: it prohibits the use of federal funds for abortions (with exceptions), on the basis that a great many taxpayers object to abortion on moral or religious grounds and, therefore, it is unconscionable to force them to pay for abortions by using their tax dollars for that purpose. Congress should resist following President Biden down this path and should instead maintain the Hyde Amendment language in the budget it ultimately passes.
