Statement by Timothy Head on Speaker Pelosi’s Attempt to Include Abortion Coverage in Coronavirus Bill

Washington, D.C. – Executive Director Timothy Head released the following statement in response to Speaker Pelosi’s attempt to include abortion coverage in the coronavirus bill:
 
“We have heard from multiple sources that, as part of the emergency spending bill to meet the coronavirus crisis, House Speaker Pelosi has argued for a new federal funding stream that could spend U.S. tax dollars to cover abortion. As the President works to address the immediate threat of the coronavirus, injecting abortion politics into the debate is unconscionable. Fortunately, the Trump Administration demanded that all funding streams in the bill be covered by the Hyde Amendment which bans federal funds from being used to fund abortions. While many Democrats, including presidential primary front-runner Joe Biden, have called for a repeal of the Hyde Amendment, the American people remain overwhelmingly opposed to tax dollars going to abortion and it demonstrated how committed the Democrats are to perpetually promoting abortion that they included it even in the coronavirus emergency funding bill.”
