Request to Consider H.R. No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. FISCHBACH. Madam Speaker, since 1976, the Hyde Amendment has protected American taxpayers from being complicit in the atrocity that is abortion on demand. And since 1976, the Hyde Amendment has been reauthorized on a bipartisan basis, signed into law by both Republican and Democrat Presidents, and supported by most Americans, until now, as President Biden's proposed budget eliminates it altogether.

Madam Speaker, we are treading in dangerous territory. Democrats have completely abandoned millions of pro-life Americans just like me, who vehemently oppose using taxpayer dollars to fund abortion. And even worse, they have done it for no other reason than to appease their own radical base.

18 and ask for its immediate consideration in the House.
