Reports suggest that the House will take up reconciliation as soon as Wednesday. Know what is not currently in it? Stopping the abortion industry from getting access to $1 billion in taxpayer money - every year - starting July 4. Talk about an American birthday present.
Why is Hyde important? WA Health Cmt is hearing a bill mandating a tax on all health plans in the state to be put in an abortion savings account for the state to pay for access to abortion services. Every individual in WA with a covered health plan would be paying for abortions.
“Democrats demand that any (healthcare) deal must include elective abortion coverage, paid for by American taxpayers. …We can reduce the cost of healthcare, but to do it, Democrats are going to have to be more flexible on Hyde.” @SenatorLankford foxnews.com/opinion/sen-jame…
No American should be complicit in paying for the intentional termination of children in the womb. Concerned taxpayers should be heartened by this WH statement, but closely review any bill text that comes from the proposal.
NEW: Though the president's new "Great Health Care Plan" has no explicit mention of Hyde, a White House official told @DailySignal the WH will work with Congress to ensure the "strongest possible pro-life protections."
Obamacare was always designed as a smoke screen. It was a compromise between liberals and progressives that stopped short of a nationalized system. It drove up costs on the entire insurance pool while hiding those costs behind subsidies.
Thank you @SpeakerJohnson, @LeaderJohnThune, @SenatorLankford, and so many others that understand that life is a pillar, not a result, of conservatism.
More on the smokescreen: "The 'separate payment' scheme, first devised by Obama and Pelosi, has always been an accounting gimmick and a deliberate departure from Hyde. Conducting an accounting gimmick is not Hyde." teapawt.net/sbaprolife/status/2011…
To the U.S. Senate GOP: No gimmicks and no sham "compromises."
Either taxpayer dollars fund Obamacare plans that fund abortion, or they don't. Any such proposal should be considered dead on arrival.

Dear @POTUS, @VP, @LeaderJohnThune and @SpeakerJohnson: the Pro-Life Movement is unified in our message. We will not be "flexible" on Hyde. The federal government must get out of the abortion business.
See the letter led by @AUL, @EPPCdc, @sbaprolife and @family_policy below.

“It is unconscionable that any House Republicans joined with Democrats to perpetuate the largest ever expansion of taxpayer funding for abortion. It is good for Congress to build a more effective and efficient approach to healthcare. But it must never be at the expense of preborn American life.” - @KehrJD, Government Affairs Director at @AUL.

Just a reminder that in September the White House put out President Trump’s Top 100 Victories for People of Faith. Prominently featured: Ending Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and enforcement of the Hyde Amendment whitehouse.gov/articles/2025…
Thank you, @SpeakerJohnson! Flexibility is for bed times, dessert, and screen time, but not the very lives of our children.
