Media keeps hush on pro-abortion provision in House spending bill

Published June 20, 2019 6:17pm ET



House Democrats kept the Hyde Amendment intact in their $1 trillion spending bill, which passed yesterday by a vote of 226 to 203. However, they added a different pro-choice provision that the liberal media is keeping quiet about.

The new spending bill would repeal the Mexico City Policy, which was reinstated by executive order when President Trump took office. The policy prevents taxpayer dollars from funding abortion overseas. This Democratic bill would reinstate Obama-era policies and force Americans to fund Planned Parenthood International Federation, which already has plans for what to do with the cash.
