Anti-abortion groups fear end of Hyde Amendment's 50-year run
Original: Anti-abortion groups worry Hyde Amendment’s 50-year run could end with new congressional majority
Anti-abortion groups are warning that the Hyde Amendment, the annual federal provision banning Medicaid funding for most abortions since 1976, could be dropped under a new congressional majority. Advocates on both sides are watching appropriations negotiations, with abortion-rights supporters pushing to remove the restriction and opponents mobilizing to preserve it.
Why now: A shift in congressional control has put the long-standing abortion funding ban at risk in upcoming budget fights.
