This latest move marks a turning point for Biden, who once supported the Hyde Amendment. For decades, he voted against abortion and for Hyde. But he noticeably flipped on the issue as he prepared for the 2020 election and ran on the Democratic Party platform that called to “repeal the Hyde Amendment.” In 2019, Biden condemned Hyde – the day after he reaffirmed his support for it. First introduced in 1976 by Representative Henry Hyde from Illinois, the Hyde Amendment bans federal funding – taxpayer dollars – from going towards abortion, with the exceptions of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother. The legislative provision, approved annually by Congress, largely impacts Medicaid recipients.

05/09/2021 at 9:55 PM Posted by Kevin Edward White By Michael New, LifeNews, May 7, 2021 On Thursday, the Pew Research Center released the first nationwide poll on sanctity-of-life issues since Joe Biden’s inauguration. Like the Knights of Columbus/Marist poll that was released this past January and the CBS News and Gallup polls which each came out in 2020, it shows that public attitudes on the issue of abortion have remained relatively stable during the pandemic. Overall, the poll shows that 39 percent of Americans think that abortion should be illegal in “all or most cases.” This is a one percentage point gain from a survey that Pew conducted during January and February 2020.
President Joe Biden signed an executive order Thursday afternoon reinstating American taxpayer funding for abortions overseas. In typical fashion, he described the procedure as "women's healthcare" and accused President Trump,

Source: AP Photo/Evan Vucci President Joe Biden has been on the job for just over a week and has already destroyed any credibility he is a “moderate.” On his first day in the Oval Office, Biden signed an executive order mandating biological males be allowed to participate in women’s sports, effectively ending them and destroying Title IX. "Last week, President Joe Biden wasted no time in pushing policies that threaten to gut legal protections for women and girls. Unfortunately, we’ve already gotten a glimpse of what this means. The past few years, we’ve watched as female athletes have increasingly lost out on championship titles and opportunities to advance to the next level of competition. All because of policies like those President Biden is pushing,” Alliance Defending Freedom, which has sued on behalf of female athletes in the past, said. “Take Connecticut, for example, where a state athletic association policy permits male athletes who identify as females to compete on girls’ athletic teams. Under this policy, two male athletes in the state won 15 championship titles and over 85 chances to advance to higher levels of competition that belonged to deserving girls.”
Share this article NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is a statement by Carl A. Anderson, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, regarding today's action by President Joseph R. Biden Jr. to rescind the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance Policy, also known as the Mexico City Policy: "President Biden's decision to rescind the Mexico City Policy ignores the opinion of most Americans. The Mexico City Policy acknowledges the decades-long tradition in the United States of not using taxpayer dollars to perform or promote abortion. Our 2021 Knights of Columbus/Marist poll, released earlier this week, found that more than three-quarters of Americans agree that public funds should not be used to fund abortion abroad. This supermajority of Americans includes 55% of Democrats, 85% of independents, and 64% of pro-choice respondents. This result, found consistently over several years, demonstrates that this executive action does not unite Americans but instead is contrary to an area of bipartisan consensus in an otherwise divisive issue."
Democrats and abortion activists are renewing the call to end the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funding for abortion. Instead, they want tax dollars to go towards a woman’s “deeply personal life decisions.” But when American taxpayers are forced to pay for that decision, abortion – the ending of a human life – surfaces as a public matter in a very obvious way. On December 8, the House Appropriations Committee held a nearly three-hour hearing on “The Impact on Women Seeking an Abortion but are Denied Because of an Inability to Pay.” House Democrats and abortion activists centered their remarks around the same argument: that Hyde is a racist policy that targets low-income women of color.
