The Hyde Amendment is an obscure budget rider that bans any federal funding from covering abortion services, which means low-income women on Medicaid cant use their plans to cover an abortion. It has also helped limit access for government employees, military personnel, those in the Peace Corps, and others. Its become a routine piece of policy, renewed in every federal spending bill since 1976, and frequently becomes a political football, as when President Obama signed an executive order including restrictions along the lines of Hyde in the Affordable Care Act as a way to win support for the bills passage.
But now both frontrunners for the Democratic presidential nomination have come out against it, calling for it to be repealed. Hillary Clinton has repeatedly called for a reversal of Hyde, and now Bernie Sanders has followed suit.
On Friday, Sanders said in a statement, Women must have full control over their reproductive health in order to have full control over their lives. We must rescind the Hyde Amendment and resist attempts by states to erect roadblocks to abortion. Sanders has voted against the Hyde Amendment while serving in both the House and Senate, but his statement made his intentions clear to repeal it once and for all if elected. ....................

(15,438 posts)He doesn't instill any confidence in me he'll stand up against Republicans and the ChristoFacists in this country who are all attempting to shove women back behind that damn counter, barefoot and pregnant and all.
We need a president who has the clout, the strength, the will, and the fearlessness to fight them every inch of the way. I don't get the feeling Bernie cares to be our champion.

(50,530 posts)It turns out that the Berniecare regime plus the Hyde Amendment will effectively abolish abortion in America, and the Berniecare regime plus the Hobby Lobby decision will also abolish contraception. Any real Democrat should be berning with the heat of an acetylene flame over a betrayal of this magnitude.
