“I’m going to support Hyde in every way possible.” — U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D, WV) 6/10/21

U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D, WV) for the 2nd time within a week, dashed the Democratic Party’s hopes for their Leftist agenda in spite of holding both the White House and majorities in both houses of Congress.

Last Sunday, Manchin vowed he would not support the “For the People Act”, or H.R. 1 / S. 1, the radical Federal takeover of elections currently administered by state and local governments and would include public financing of Federal political campaigns.

On Thursday, Manchin made clear he will not allow abortion-on-demand to be funded by Federal tax dollars by President Biden’s draft Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 budget, which excluded the Hyde Amendment prohibiting Federal funds to pay for abortions outside of cases of rape, incest or threat to the mother’s life.

Manchin, a member of the evenly divided Senate Appropriations Committee and a member of the Health and Human Services subcommittee, could single-handedly save the Hyde Amendment with appropriate follow-through.
