The Hyde Amendment - gonePlease take our poll! Sadly, the supposedly Catholic President Biden now seeks to fulfill his campaign promise to ultra-liberal/progressives/Democrats on the Left by effectively ending the Hyde Amendment. The President’s new $6 trillion dollar spending proposal contains measures that would serve to remove the Hyde Amendment. The Hyde Amendment has maintained a place in spending bills since its inception in the 1970s, effectively preventing the use of taxpayer dollars in funding abortions, except in the event of rape, incest, or danger of the mother’s life. Now, not only will Oregonians be forced to pay for abortions funded by the state of Oregon, they will also have their tax dollars used to pay for abortions nationwide!
The removal of the Hyde Amendment from Biden’s spending plan comes on the heels of other measures the administration has adopted since entering office earlier this year. An April proposal from the office of the President reversed the Protect Life Rule, enacted under Trump, that created a definitive separation between recipients of federal Title X funding and programs or facilities that perform or support abortions or refer for abortions.
Pro-life Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser points out, “Americans across the political spectrum overwhelmingly reject the idea of forcing taxpayers to be complicit in the destruction of innocent human life at home or the exportation of abortion around the world." This includes millions of rank-and-file Democrats alienated by the radical platform of their party. These facts come as no surprise to the pro-life movement, but they ought to serve as a wake-up call to President Biden and Vice President Harris – who have promised to swiftly dismantle President Trump’s pro-life policy achievements and ramp up the flow of tax dollars to the big abortion industry. A Democrat majority in the House and Senate tragically translates into a loss of protections for the unborn through taxpayer funded abortions.
What can we do? Pray! Call our Senator's and Congress people! Vote, remind friends to vote, educate your friends on who and when to vote, how to register to vote, get engaged with our Oregon Faith and Freedom Chapter, attend the upcoming "Road to Majority" Conference in Orlando, FL the 17-19 of June., use your facebook/instagram to reach and find others like you, challenge your own beliefs to understand better how to get engaged in the culture war, give your tax credit (and remember that your tax credit will take $50 or $100 away from state government where it might be used for state funded abortions - watch video to hear explanation), take our survey, and more.
Will you help us fill the gap in creating the needed turn out machine we lack? Will you help us do the voter "hot" button identification that needs to be done?
