(LIFE NEWS) – Joe Biden is expected to introduce an unprecedented plan to force taxpayers to fund abortions through his 2022 budget.
CBN News reports Biden is scheduled to present his budget plan Friday to Congress, and many predict that it will eliminate the long-standing Hyde Amendment and other prohibitions on taxpayer funding for elective abortions.
The Hyde Amendment, which has been in place since 1976, prohibits taxpayer funding for most abortions in Medicaid and other federal programs. It has saved an estimated 2.4 million babies from abortions, including about 60,000 each year, according to the Charlotte Lozier Institute. Though the amendment has widespread public support, the abortion industry wants it gone, and abortion advocacy groups have been putting constant pressure on the Biden administration to end it.
