In reply to the discussion: Joe Biden's long evolution on abortion rights still holds surprises [View all]Sloumeau
(2,657 posts)19. OK, let's look at what she did say:
The unfair Hyde Amendment makes it so that those who have the least end up having to pay the most to access abortion, and those who are service members or live on reservations are often left with no coverage for abortion care, Kelly Robinson, Planned Parenthood Action Fund's executive director, said.
We encourage any candidate who doesn't recognize Hyde's impact to speak to the women it hurts most particularly on women of color and women with low incomes to learn more about the harmful impacts of this discriminatory policy," Robinson said.
Well, she's gotta be totally happy now, right? I mean, since the Trump Administration's new rule resulted in Planned Parenthood no longer getting any federal funding, the Hyde Amendment no longer makes any difference whatsoever. She's gotta be so happy that the nasty Hyde Amendment makes no difference whatsoever, right? I bet if we called her up right now, she would be so happy that the Hyde Amendment no longer has any effect at all. She must be dancing on moonbeams right now!
