The Washington Examiner reports
that Senate Democrats are suddenly opposing a heretofore bipartisan bill to
fight human trafficking, after unanimously passing it out of committee, because
it contains a modest anti-abortion measure routinely approved by both parties
in legislation every year for nearly four decades.
The longstanding Hyde
Amendment simply keeps our tax dollars out of the abortion industry--a concept
supported by two-thirds of Americans, according to recent polling. The
Hyde Amendment even includes exceptions for saving the life of the mother and,
despite some pro-life objections, also for rape and incest.
Which leaves Senate Democrats with the lamest of talking
points, such as not realizing that the Hyde Amendment was referenced in the
short, 62-page bill. Did the Senate Democrats not bother to read the
legislation from laziness, did they not understand it out of ignorance or do
they think that Americans suddenly want their tax dollars to pay Planned Parenthood
to end the lives of developing babies?
