Petition to "Save Hyde. Save Lives."
As Catholics, we are gravely concerned about the prospect of expansion of taxpayer funding of abortion. For 45 years, the Hyde Amendment and other life-saving appropriations riders have prevented taxpayers from being forced to pay for elective abortion. The amendment has had longstanding bipartisan support since 1976 but is now at risk of being overturned. Please consider signing a USCCB-sponsored petition to Congress (Save Hyde. Save Lives.)
