Over a dozen leaders and scholars affiliated with the ‘Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden’ initiative have signed a statement expressing disappointment with the new Biden administration’s desire to remove a legal statute limiting taxpayer funding of abortion – one of the new President’s top legislative priorities for his first 100 days in office.
The administration recently declared support for a Covid-19 relief bill that would repeal the Hyde Amendment, which bans federal funding of abortion in most instances.
This is part of President Biden’s policy of amending the US Civil Rights Act of 1964 to create the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. This was passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 224–206 and this now sweeping civil rights Bill claims to extend proper education, shelter, employment, and non-discrimination to the LGBTQ+ community in America.
