(Photo by Anna Moneymaker\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 1:51 PM PT \u2013 Saturday, October 23, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) met with leaders of the Pro-Life Caucus and guests on the \u201cRight to Life\u201d to discuss the importance of standing against taxpayer-funded abortions.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the Republican leader met with Congress\u2019 pro-life group members to defend the amendment that Joe Biden once supported and voted in favor of several times when he was a senator. McCarthy said he wants people to know exactly where their tax money is going, especially with Democrats pushing their trillion-dollar so-called Build Back Better Bill, which aims to remove the Hyde Amendment altogether.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut this is one fundamental point that America had come together on for the last 50 years and without one debate, Democrats decided that every element of every bill and especially in this one. And when you\u2019re talking trillions of dollars being spent, you\u2019re talking lives being lost,\u201d stressed McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican pointed back to 1994 when Biden said \u201cthe government should not tell those with strong convictions against abortion, such as you and I, that we must pay for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">One of the Hyde Amendments most vocal supporters used to be then-Senator Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>In 1994, he said \u201cthe government should not tell those with strong convictions against abortion, such as you and I, that we must pay for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I agree with Joe Biden! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6QYqFUtmeQ\">https:\/\/t.co\/6QYqFUtmeQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader\/status\/1451550184022888448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Democrats are now doing everything in their power to get funding for abortions in any bill they can pass. Minn. Rep. Michelle Fischbach (R) stressed how important it is that Americans know what\u2019s in the reconciliation package so they can stand up against attacks on their freedoms.<\/p>\n<p>While most Democrat lawmakers have continued to push for the removal of the 40-year-old amendment, moderate Democrats like Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), have refused to support the reconciliation package unless the Hyde Amendment is included. GOP leaders stressed this funding, paid for by American tax dollars, won\u2019t only fund abortions in the U.S., but could potentially fund them globally.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1976, there has been strong bipartisan agreement that the federal government has no place funding abortion, but now the law is under assault by the Democrat\u2019s spending bill. McCarthy said he\u2019s appalled by their disregard for life and hopes more can see how important the Hyde Amendment truly is.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/kamala-harris-speech-interrupted-by-heckler\/\">Kamala Harris\u2019 Speech Interrupted By Heckler<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 OCTOBER 21: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) gestures as he speaks at his weekly press conference at the U.S. Capitol Building on October 21, 2021 in &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-914469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/914469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=914469"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/914469\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=914469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=914469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=914469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
