Andy Biggs spearheaded the letter, which was first obtained by the Daily Caller. He was joined by 45 other House Republicans in calling on McConnell and McCarthy to oppose Biden\u2019s budget for not including provisions such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/23\/democrats-roe-v-wade-hyde-amendment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hyde Amendment<\/a>, which ensures that U.S. tax dollars are not spent on abortions.<\/p>\n<p>In the letter, the lawmakers noted that every president from Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump has included the Hyde Amendment in their budget proposals or signed it into law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOften our Democrat colleagues talk of standing up for communities of color, but they refuse to recognize that a disproportionate number of abortions in the United States kill black and Latino babies. This number will only increase if the federal government begins to fund abortions. If our Democrat colleagues truly cared about communities of color, they would advocate for policies that lead women out of situations where abortion seems like the only option rather than advocate for policies that will lead to the deaths of millions of children,\u201d the letter states. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/02\/26\/abortion-hyde-reconciliation-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Democrats Removed Pro-Life Protections From Massive COVID Bill, GOP Lawmakers Say)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ THE LETTER HERE:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View (DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) -- Hyde Amendment Letter (1) on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/513018959\/DAILY-CALLER-OBTAINED-Hyde-Amendment-Letter-1#from_embed\">(DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) \u2014 \u2026<\/a> by <a title=\"View Henry Rodgers's profile on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/user\/527927298\/Henry-Rodgers#from_embed\">Henry Rodgers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot allow President Biden and his radical allies in Congress to trample on America\u2019s founding principles by eroding protections for the most vulnerable Americans.
