We have been made aware that our US Congressional Representatives will be making an important decision on July 15th, 2021: Whether or not to keep the life-saving Hyde Amendment.
As a reminder, the Hyde Amendment is the only barrier to your federal tax dollars being used to fund abortion on demand through Medicaid and Medicare. Through the years, there have been other barriers to funding abortions (collectively called the “Hyde Family”) added to different federal programs such as the Peace Corps and Federal Employee medical benefits.
Unfortunately, those other barriers have been mostly removed by the current Biden Administration and Democrat majority. The Hyde Amendment is the final obstruction to fully funding abortion on demand at the federal level.
We need you to contact your US House Representative and encourage them to KEEP HYDE! Remind them of these important facts:
1. 58% of Americans OPPOSE the federal funding of abortions.
2. 55% of Americans OPPOSE funding abortion through Medicaid.
3. Since the Hyde Amendment was established in 1976, 1 in every 9 babies born with the help of Medicaid is alive, or roughly over 2.4 million people! If this protection is removed, millions will die.
We’ve all heard that just a few minutes can save you money on car insurance, right? Your few minutes spent contacting your US House Representative can SAVE HUMAN LIVES.
Standing for every life,
