Right-wing fumes after Hyde Amendment falls short in appropriations bill

[Klaralven]

The decades-old Hyde Amendment took one step closer to falling Friday, as the House Appropriations Committee passed a funding bill for the fiscal year of 2022 without the controversial provision — which, if passed, would allow for the allocation of resources from the federal government to fund abortion procedures if the patient is on Medicaid.

In a post-committee meeting summary, the appropriations committee said the current bill will advance the "equal treatment for women by increasing funding for the range of health services, including family planning, covered by Title X and repealing the discriminatory Hyde Amendment."

The proposed amendment to preserve Hyde failed on a 27-32 vote.

7. If the Hyde Amendment survives, they probably won't try to overturn Roe. ( n/t )

8. thats already a done deal

barring extremely unlikely legislation to block them

They may hold off a year to keep the issue alive for the next election. I dont expect them to hold off longer, especially with the way the right is pushing to end democracy via voting.

2. 'the current bill will advance the "equal treatment for women by increasing funding

or the range of health services, including family planning'

3. I assume rube states could still decide to not cover it under their Medicaid program.

But, it’s clearly better having coverage in some states.
