On the recordNovember 8, 2023
Nowhere in my remarks did I mention the Hyde amendment. I am talking about a gender policy council that should not exist. For over 40 years we have had the Hyde amendment in place to where American taxpayer dollars didn't go to fund abortion. Nowhere did I say that a woman shouldn't have a right to do what she wanted to do, but with the Roe v. Wade reversal, that decision went back to the States where it rightly belonged. In my opinion, over the last 40 to 50 years women have been indoctrinated to think it was a constitutional right to abortion, and it never was. {time} 1630 I am here to set the record straight. It went back to the States where it belongs. All I am trying to say is that we need to get rid of the Gender Policy Council. If they want to put that anywhere, HHS is the Department that it should fall under. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
