In addition to opposing S1 (HR1) and ending or changing the filibuster, Senator Joe Manchin will not support eliminating the Hyde Amendment. The Hyde Amendment prevents the federal government from using tax dollars to fund abortions.
Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) told Bloomberg Government’s Alex Ruoff that he will demand the Hyde Amendment stay in spending bills.
Why are Democrats demanding this anyway? More money for the baby chop shop, Planned Parenthood? Or do they just want to continue destroying religious beliefs and core moral beliefs so the State can reign supreme?
Manchin’s stance would likely block a spending bill in committee if it doesn’t include the ban on federal funds for abortion except in the case of rape, incest and to save the life of the woman.
Senate Appropriations Committee is evenly divided between D’s and R’s.

Democrats’ plan to push a spending bill without Hyde was likely doomed because of the Senate’s 60-vote threshold. But this is significant because Manchin is on the Appropriations Committee (and the HHS subcommittee) and could block it before it even gets to the floor.
