Hyde amendment

Supporting Arguments
Supporters argue that the reason many of them are unwilling to compromise on abortion and the Hyde Amendment is that a life is at risk and when the choice to have sex is consensual and not from rape, women should take responsibility for the consequences.

Opposing Arguments
Opponents also argue that people should be legally allowed to make their own choices about their bodies, and have access to the resources necessary to execute those choices. With the Hyde Amendment in effect, 60% of Planned Parenthood's 2.4 million patients cannot use public health aid for abortion care.

Joe Biden 2019-2020
In June 2019 ahead of the 2020 presidential election, former Vice President and current presidential candidate Joe Biden revealed his support of the Hyde Amendment. However, after criticism poured in regarding this stance, he changed his mind after 2 days to say he would oppose the amendment. He would have been the only Democratic candidate to support Hyde, but currently all of the 22 Democratic candidates are in opposition of it.
