Trump announces 'pro-life coalition,' supports making Hyde Amendment permanent

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/09/16/trump-marjorie-dannenfelser-anti-abortion-rights/90431388/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzRss&utm_campaign=usatoday-newstopstories

Trump announces 'pro-life coalition,' supports making Hyde Amendment permanent


The Hyde Amendment withholds certain federal funds from being used for abortion. There are exceptions to protect the life of the woman or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. It is not a permanent law but has been extended annually in spending bills since it was first passed by Congress in 1976.

The Hyde Amendment has not been a campaign issue in previous election cycles. But the Democratic Party platform this year calls for it to be repealed. Notably, Hillary Clinton’s running mate Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine previously supported the amendment but after he was chosen for the ticket he said he stood with the Democratic nominee in opposing it.

There's a reason why they have never really worked hard to fullfill their promises of the 3 G's when they get to DC.

The 3 G's are like a savings account, always there & ready to pull from in the NEXT election.
