Biden is expected to sign an order Thursday forcing taxpayers to fund abortions in foreign countries, claiming it will “undo the damage Trump has done.”
Republicans are searching for a post-Trump identity now that they are out of power in Washington, but one policy position will certainly carry on, and likely take on a renewed emphasis: opposition to federal funding of abortion.
Almost the entirety of the GOP House caucus, led by Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks (pictured), have pledged to oppose any legislation that repeals the Hyde Amendment, the decades-old policy that prohibits federal programs such as Medicaid from paying for abortions.
It is perhaps the clearest line that party members 200 in total have drawn on policy since Joe Biden became president.
