44% : "Billions of taxpayer dollars could be used to pay for abortion" without these protections, they insisted.
42% : According to the U.S. bishops, the House Committee on Appropriations is putting forth bills this week that would not only "force taxpayers to pay for elective abortions" but would also "force health care providers and professionals to perform and refer for abortion against their deeply-held beliefs."
35% : The Hyde Amendment, which protects American taxpayers from funding domestic abortions, "has saved nearly 2.5 million babies and mothers in difficult circumstances from the tragedy of abortion," they stated.
24% : Despite the Catholic Church's constant teaching on the grave evil of abortion as the murder of the most vulnerable members of society, a number of Democrats who self-identify as Catholics support abortion rights, including President Joe Biden and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
