From the article:

"Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee, said she believes the Hyde Amendment should be made permanent.

“Having to go through this year by year or every couple of years, however it comes about, is ridiculous,” she declared. “Two-thirds of the American public do not want their tax dollars to be used for abortion. We should not have to go through that to keep that as law.”

But the 2016 Democratic Party platform signaled the opposite with a plank that supports the repeal of the Hyde Amendment."

The Hyde Ammendment position of Clinton knaws at me the closer we get to Election Day. As bad as Trump is as a candidate, I’m leaning more and more towards him given what Clinton has promised to do once in office and the many children who would suffer an awful death as a result of her Presidency.

The reason it is an amendment added to appropriations and budgets is because the left has always been lying about their intentions. If those on the left who claimed to be prolife truly wanted to be prolife, they would have demanded that this pass as a law, and not as a rider to the budget that needs to be fought over every year.

Murder is a law, because we recognize that it is wrong and we don’t want the nonsense of having to approve outlawing it every year. Same with every other violent attack against an innocent person.

But somehow the best the Democrat “prolifers” could manage for abortion is a one-year rider…
 
The Democrat Party Platform requires the repeal of the Hyde Amendment.
