Donald Trump Calls for Permanently
Banning Taxpayer Funding of Abortions, by Steven Ertelt, 9/16/16
Donald Trump today has issued a call
to make permanent the Hyde Amendment that bans almost all federal taxpayer
funding of abortions and is credited with saving the lives of over 1 million
Americans from abortion. Trump-‘s call
comes as Hillary Clinton is campaigning in reversing Hyde and forcing Americans
to fund free abortions for women with their tax dollars.
Every year, Congress is forced to
fight the battle to protect Americans from being forced to pay for abortions
with their tax dollars. Democrats annually fight the pro-life budget provision
and hope they can eventually reverse it should they take control of both the
White House and Congress. That has led to pro-life groups
calling to the adoption of a permanent law putting Hyde in place long-term and
making it more difficult for pro-abortion forces to reverse. Today, Trump
announced his support for such a law.
The call for banning taxpayer
funding of abortions comes in a new letter from Trump. Trump commits to a new policy: “Making the Hyde
Amendment permanent law to protect taxpayers from having to pay for abortions.”
“Hillary Clinton’s unwavering
commitment to advancing taxpayer-funded abortion on-demand stands in stark
contrast to the commitments I’ve made,” Trump writes, “to advance the rights of
unborn children and their mothers when elected president.”
Marjorie Dannenfelser of the
pro-life Susan B. Anthony List praised Trump for calling for banning taxpayer
funding of abortions.
“Not only has Mr. Trump doubled down
on his three existing commitments to the pro-life movement, he has gone a step
further in pledging to protect the Hyde Amendment and the conscience rights of
millions of pro-life taxpayers. For a candidate to make additional commitments
during a general election is almost unheard of,” Dannenfelser said.
The first order of business for
Clinton and her friends at the abortion company is to force Americans to pay
for abortions with their tax dollars by attempting to overturn the Hyde
Amendment, which has protected Americans from funding most all abortions since
the late 1970s. Upheld by the
Supreme Court, the Hyde Amendment is
now a target of abortion advocates who have moved from pro-choice to
pro-abortion — forcing Americans not only to accept unlimited abortions before
birth but to pay for them.
Earlier this year, campaigning in
New Hampshire, Clinton made her support for tax-financed
abortions clear. During the rally, Hillary said
abortion and abortion funding should be “defended both in principle and in
practice.”
“Any right that requires you to take
extra measures to access it is no right at all,” she continued as she listed a
number of pro-life measures she opposes. “Not as long as we have laws on the
books like the Hyde Amendment making it harder for low income women to exercise
their full rights.”

I call on
all “feed the poor” Catholics to vote for Trump to finally end federal abortion
funding. Trump will continue to “feed
the poor” until they can feed themselves.
To make sure this happens, he will bring jobs back to the US.
