Washington (CNN)The House of Representatives passed legislation Tuesday barring the use of any taxpayer money for abortions, days before a large contingent of anti-abortion activists are scheduled to attend the annual March for Life in Washington.
The measure passed mostly along party lines, 238-183.
Currently, the so-called "Hyde Amendment," which is regularly attached to annual funding bills, already prohibits federal agencies from using funds for abortion services. The measure approved on Tuesday would make that amendment permanent.
The amendment includes an exception for those abortions that are undertaken to protect the life of the mother or done in cases of rape or incest.

Now next rule is no taxpayer money used for SNAP, work or starve!
About time! For a reminder, the Dems removed the Hyde amendment from their party platform in the 2016 election.
Thank you
More welfare babies. You bunch of whiners need to think about that before you complain about abortion. Your tax dollars will be paying for welfare babies, democrats and more schools and jails.
6:58 - if they do it right, there will be no more 'additional' money for 'additional' kids. Too many leeches are using their squeeze-boxes as cash machines!

Very true!
As it should be!

Well, there you go. There'll always be an ob/gyn, or a psychiatrist that will say it was necessary to save the life of the mom-to-be, as she was suicidal over being pregnant.
