Dear fellow American,
Did you know there is a specific legislative provision ensuring that your federal tax dollars do not fund abortions?
Since 1976, the Hyde Amendment has protected American taxpayers from paying for abortions. Throughout its history, the Hyde Amendment has received widespread bipartisan support from both Congress and the White House. But if President Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), and their pro-abortion allies in Congress have their way, this critically important provision could be undone.
The pro-abortion lobby is hard at work trying to roll back the Hyde Amendment, as well as the many pro-life victories achieved during the Trump administration, including:
- The Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance (PLGHA) policy, which blocked funding for international organizations that perform or promote abortion;
- A Title X rule change that closed an abortion funding loophole by ensuring financial and physical separation between family planning clinics and abortion facilities;
- An executive order that reinforced existing protections for children born prematurely, with disabilities, or in medical distress, including infants who survive abortion; and
- A conscience exemption from the Obamacare “contraceptive mandate” for organizations with moral or religious objections to purchasing insurance that includes coverage of contraceptives and abortion-causing drugs.
According to a January 2021 Marist poll, 58 percent of Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortion. But unless you and I and many thousands of other Americans who value life speak up now, the Pelosi-led House and Schumer-led Senate are very likely to ignore the will of the people and act against our values and the lives of the unborn. President Biden’s new proposed federal budget even removed the Hyde Amendment.
You and I must take a stand NOW to preserve pro-life policy and ensure that the Hyde Amendment remains intact for future generations.
Will you help with your immediate gift today?
Ever since our founding nearly 30 years ago, Family Research Council Action has been working feverishly to defeat the pro-abortion special interests and their allies in Congress.
We’ve been working with pro-life legislators in Congress to help secure the passage of important legislation, and we’ve been working at the state level all across America to protect life as well.
But now, the situation has become much more urgent. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and President Biden have full control of our government. Pro-life Americans are once again on defense. And the pro-abortion Left is moving more aggressively than ever to direct our tax dollars to fund the abortion industry.
It is critical that we shore up every ounce of pro-life support we can muster to protect the Hyde Amendment until we can reestablish a pro-life majority in Congress next November. With your support, FRC Action can lead the charge, as we have for nearly three decades.
Your gift today will enable us to continue rallying support for the Hyde Amendment and pro-life policy on Capitol Hill. It will fund consistent outreach to our nationwide network of pastors and faith leaders. It will help us continue raising awareness about the clear and present threat to the Hyde Amendment.
And it will enable us to hold the line against taxpayer-funded abortion when it matters most!
Thank you, and God bless!
For America,
Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William G. Boykin
Executive Vice President
