Hyde Amendment Saves Lives

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CLYDE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to express, once again, my sincere dismay that Democrats continue to ignore the wishes of the American people by removing the Hyde amendment and other life-affirming protections for the unborn from their bills, including their Big Government, socialist tax-and-spend reconciliation bill.

My constituents are righteously angry that Democrats in control of this body time and time again choose to violate the sanctity of life. Moreover, they are furious at the thought of their tax dollars being used to violently end the lives of millions of unborn babies, millions of precious heartbeats in the womb.

Madam Speaker, you and I both know full well that the Hyde amendment has saved lives. This is not just an opinion but a proven fact that simply cannot be ignored.

I will always stand in support of the Hyde amendment and unapologetically fight for the sanctity of life. I urge my Democrat colleagues to abandon their political charade and restore the Hyde amendment in the bipartisan way it has been supported for almost 45 years.

Again, I urge you to restore the Hyde amendment.
