Why We Need An Amendment
Some think the debate over whether or not Health Care reform will pave the way for tax-payer funded abortion to be a pointless idea. While others believe that the Hyde Amendment bans federal money from paying for abortions. This however is only partly true.
I want to quickly give the reason why we need an amendment that clearly states that no money will be used to pay for abortions in anyway.
Simply put, the Hyde Amendment will not do the trick!
The Hyde Amendment is a "rider" bill -- meaning it is "limitation amendment" of sorts. The Hyde amendment restricts funding of abortions by creating rules for the appropriation of funds within Medicaid.
