What is the Hyde Amendment?

Passed by Congress in 1976, the Hyde Amendment excludes abortion from the comprehensive health care services provided to low-income people by the federal government through Medicaid. Congress has made some exceptions to the funding ban, which have varied over the years. At present, the federal Medicaid program mandates abortion funding in cases of rape or incest, as well as when a pregnant woman's life is endangered by a physical disorder, illness, or injury.

As for all of the problems that you find,
the bill ain't yet in its final form,
and I know for a fact that it will not be worse than
what we currently have.

Ask Sen. Sanders, Sen. Franken, Sen. Boxer, Sen. Harkin,
Rep. Wiener, Mr. Krugman and others.

There is a myth afoot that some repeat without really being familiar with the bill,
other than a few talking points.
and I'm tired of those who see the worse in everything,
and because of it, prefer the status quo.
Status quo is the worse choice, and yet, it is the one
you all are ready to settle for.

You will be judged incorrect in the anals of history,
and I for one, will, once again, be proven prescient.
I know that sucks, but I can't help it if my lack of cynicism against this administration
allows me to see further than the nose in front of my face.
