    the Hyde Amendment

  • WHAT IS THE HYDE AMENDMENT?

    The Hyde Amendment, contained in the federal government’s annual appropriations legislation, prohibits federal funding of domestic abortions, except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. It is a bipartisan provision that has been part of federal appropriations for 45 years (since 1976) and enjoys overwhelming public support.

    ISSUE

    The Hyde Amendment and similar laws have protected taxpayers from funding abortion for 45 years.  Now, some members in Congress want to take away these laws that both Democrats and Republicans have supported for nearly half a century.

    WHAT HAPPENS WITHOUT THESE PROTECTIONS?

    Should efforts to eliminate the Hyde Amendment succeed, billions of taxpayer dollars could be used to pay for abortions.

    WHAT CAN CATHOLICS DO TO PROTECT THE HYDE AMENDMENT?  

    The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is asking all Catholics and people of good will to sign a petition to let Congress know they support the Hyde Amendment and do not want tax dollars paying for abortions.

    SIGN THE PETITION

    HELP RAISE AWARENESS IN YOUR COMMUNITY

    In addition to signing the Petition to Congress, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has developed several resources to both raise awareness and help people understand this issue.
