U.S. Senators John Boozman (R-AR) joined pro-life senators to send a unified message to Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer pledging to block any bill that would undermine the Hyde Amendment or any other pro-life protections.
“We are united in our resolve to guard against any changes to Federal law that would unsettle nearly half a century of bipartisan consensus against taxpayer funding for abortion on demand, or otherwise threaten the lives of unborn children. Accordingly, we are committed to vote against the advancement of any legislation that would eliminate or weaken the Hyde Amendment or any other current-law pro-life protections, or otherwise undermine existing Federal pro-life policy," the senators wrote.
The letter was led by U.S. Senator Steve Daines (R-MT).
