Hyde Amendment, opposing reversal of
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution expresses opposition to any efforts to reverse policies that restrict the use of government funds for abortions, specifically targeting actions by the Biden Administration. It reaffirms support for the Hyde Amendment, a long-standing federal law that prohibits the use of taxpayer money for most abortions, and urges Congress to maintain this policy. The resolution also opposes the repeal of the "Protect Life Rule," which prevents federal funds from being used by programs that perform abortions as a method of family planning, particularly within the Title X program. Furthermore, it calls for Congress to counteract an Executive Order that repealed the "Global Protect Life Policy" (formerly the Mexico City Policy), which had previously barred U.S. foreign aid from funding abortions overseas, and encourages legislative action to prohibit American tax dollars from being used for abortions abroad. Ultimately, the resolution advocates for all appropriate measures to protect unborn life in America.
