The Biden administration and congressional Democrats seem to have forgotten the bipartisan support the Hyde amendment has received from both Republican and Democrat administrations in the past, as well as the overwhelming support from the American public, for this important provision. It is a national shame for this administration and congressional Democrats to overlook and marginalize the right to life that we, as Americans, hold dear. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is not just a saying; it is a guiding principle by which we should all govern.
