More than 100 conservative leaders, activists send letter requesting congressional Republicans support Hyde
Fox News
A long list of conservative leaders is imploring congressional Republicans to halt the movement of appropriations lacking a decades-old provision that blocks federal funding of most abortions.
Sent to GOP lawmakers in both chambers, Tuesday's letter signals the movement's attempt to fortify a Republican defense after Democrats approved appropriations bills without Hyde. For decades, both parties supported the amendment as a compromise amid expanded abortion access. Polling has also tended to show Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortion.More Related News
