1. It may depend on the state, but I hope it does. And I'm sure Sanders does as well.

Also depends on what Warren says below, do we need to repeal Hyde first?

[Warren Stupidity]

2. After the repeal of the current version of Hyde, signed by Bill Clinton, yes.

On October 22, 1993, President Clinton signed into law the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1994.[8]?The Act contained a new version of the Hyde Amendment that expanded the category of abortions for which federal funds are available under Medicaid to include cases of rape and incest.

Not the answer you were looking for?

3. Yes, That's The Answer...

And it WAS Bill Clinton who signed this "thingey!"

5. +10,000 Why didn't Hill tell Bill to 'Cut it Out'? nt

8. that is flat out misleading bullshit

the Hyde amendment dates back to the 1970's and has been renewed yearly since. This was an expansion of what abortions were permitted to be paid for (before this only life of the mother). Your dishonestly is totally disgusting and way more fitting for a right wing site.

10. The current version was signed by Clinton.

As noted in the wiki link it actually was a slight improvement from the original.

4. No, because it won't be implemented...

...as optimistic as you may be, under the best of circumstances, we won't control the House in 2016, and we may lose the Senate in 2018 because of the number of Democratic incumbents up for re-election, as well as public annoyance at the "wasting of time" trying to get it passed in the first place.

6. Your posts are always a beacon of light and joy.

14. I've been politically involved since the 1970s...

...I've won campaigns and LOST campaigns and have learned that reality, as much as it may suck, is a better platform than dreaming.

16. Your "pragmatism" is duly noted.

Bernie Sanders and his supporters are not dreaming.

We are speaking truth to contrived pragmatism.

The revolution is already underway. Hop on board or please step aside so you aren't hurt by the rising tide of change.

[Autumn]

18. The 1% and the status quo must be maintained

at all costs.

[Logical]

7. LOL, classy as usual! nt

[riversedge]

9. Your guess is as good as any ones. Few details to Sanders "plan" given out.

[uponit7771]

11. Revolution will make sure we have abortions under single payer

[apples and oranges]

12. It would depend on who is president. If it's single payer, wouldn't the president have the power

to make changes through executive orders?

[Agschmid]

17. If that's true than couldn't a republican president ban it completely if they won a term?

[George II]

13. This is hard to say since his "plan" had very few specifics and didn't detail what is covered.

[Hiraeth]

15. scary. The Republican House will shutdown the government and the United States will default on its

debt.

had to vote that one. so scary funny.
