Washington, D.C. – Today, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra faced the House to defend his department budget. Becerra's proposed budget, which is part of President Biden's overall budget, includes provisions for abortion on demand by removing the longstanding Hyde Amendment and similar restrictions.
The Hyde family of policies has traditionally provided protection for unborn babies and their mothers, but President Biden's budget seeks to eliminate these protections. This move extends beyond the United States, as the budget also removes Hyde-like amendments that apply to the District of Columbia, federal employees, and foreign aid.
In light of these developments, SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser highlighted the findings of multiple polls, stating, "Multiple post-Dobbs polls show that at least seven in 10 Americans support significant limits on abortion. A clear majority of Americans oppose taxpayer-funded abortion on demand domestically, and more than two-thirds oppose using tax dollars to promote abortion overseas."
The organization Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, representing over one million pro-life Americans, is closely monitoring the actions of the Biden-Harris administration, particularly in relation to abortion policies. They are committed to advocating for laws that protect life and promoting pro-life women leaders.
These recent budget proposals and actions by the Biden-Harris administration underscore the ongoing debate and division regarding abortion policies in the United States.
