On the recordMarch 18, 2015
I am not going to engage in a debate about whether the Senator should have known or how she voted in the past. I believe the record would demonstrate that she and others voted for the Affordable Care Act, which actually National Abortion Rights Action League says is an expansion of the Hyde amendment. I ask the Senator, you rightly point out that these child victims of sexual assault will have been raped, either statutory rape--they are below the age of consent--or they are adults and they have been assaulted, criminally assaulted. Isn't it your understanding of the Hyde amendment that the exclusion to the Hyde amendment would still allow them to gain access to the services that you believe they need or deserve?
