Cindy Hyde-Smith said "I object to the Senator's motion to strike the provision establishing a commonsense protection of taxpayer dollars by prohibiting abortion providers from receiving Medicaid funds for 1 year. There was a time when protecting American tax dollars from supporting the abortion industry was an uncontroversial, nonpartisan effort that we could all get behind, even if we held opposing views on protecting the dignity of human life. This provision does not target any one entity. If a medical provider wishes to stay within the Medicaid Program, it should simply cut elective abortion procedures from its services." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
