For decades, Republicans and Democrats have stood in defense of the Hyde Amendment, banning the use of taxpayer dollars for abortion. Now is not the time to abandon this protection but Speaker Pelosi refuses to allow a vote.
“Three members of the House asked for a vote on the pro-life bill yesterday and each of them were denied the request by Pelosi and Democrats in the chair at her behest. Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN), and Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI) all tried to secure a vote on the bill but were denied.”
