They Hyde Amendment

is one of the reasons we are where we are at today.

Giving into that religious bullshit about how medical procedures and medicine can be funded, has led to compromising and accomodating religious freaks.

Take that mr. pope, yes you are a religious fanatic.

As far as I know the Hyde Amendment it is a rider that is attached to annual appropriations bills every year with a majority vote by both parties. How fucked up is that?

I think it's unconstitutional, but the party that we depend on to fight this is more interested in accomodating and compromising with religious nutsos. Instead of fighting for women.

Women don't gain much with this type of politics. We end up giving up a little bit every single time. Our elected politicians won't even take the fight to it.
