The Hill gets slammed for labeling the Hyde Amendment as 'controversial'
Fox News
The political news outlet The Hill was slammed by critics on Thursday for labeling the decades old Hyde Amendment as “controversial.”
"Yeah, we’re not taking the Hyde Amendment off. Hyde’s going to be on," Manchin said. He later added "It has to be. It has to be. That’s dead on arrival if that’s gone."
The Hyde Amendment, first passed in 1977, prohibited Medicaid and other federal programs from providing tax-payer dollars for abortions. For decades the Hyde Amendment received wide bipartisan support. President Biden supported Hyde protections for most of his political career but flipped when he became president, following the growing leftward trend in the Democrat Party on the issue.
