Biden caves after being battered on abortion

The Hyde Amendment, a 40-year-old measure named for the late GOP congressman Henry Hyde, bars federal funds from being used for abortion.

Bill Clinton supported the Hyde Amendment. Barack Obama didn’t try to repeal the Hyde Amendment even with a Democratic Congress. Polls show nearly 60 percent support for the measure.

Now I get that the party has moved left on the issue. And I understand the argument that the bar on federal aid makes it more difficult for poor and minority women to get abortions.

What I’m not seeing in most of these stories and segments is an acknowledgment of the other side: that millions of Americans who are strongly pro-life would be offended by having their tax dollars fund a procedure they view as tantamount to murder. And only a few journalists noted that Biden, a Catholic politician, may actually have been defending a middle ground that he believed in.
