Washington, D.C – Chairman Rick Scott joined EWTN Pro-Life Weekly last week to discuss the Democrats’ radical agenda to eliminate the Hyde and Helms Amendments. For over 40 years, the Hyde Amendment has been in place to protect American taxpayers from being forced to pay for abortions. And for nearly 50 years, Congress has also upheld the Helms Amendment, which protects taxpayer funds from being sent overseas to pay for elective abortions. An NRSC poll taken this year shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans oppose funding overseas abortions. Democrats are simply out of touch.
In July, the House of Representatives, including Senate hopefuls Val Demings, Tim Ryan and Conor Lamb voted to kill both the Hyde and Helms Amendments. In the Senate, incumbents like Mark Kelly, Maggie Hassan, Catherine Cortez Masto, Raphael Warnock, Michael Bennet and every other Senate Democrat have failed to stand up to the radical left and protect the unborn.
