(Daily Signal) Although Barack Obama has been staunchly pro-choice during his presidency, the White House this week cited a “longstanding view” that doesn’t support federal taxpayer funding of abortions—a change embraced at the Democratic National Convention as part of the party’s platform.
“I don’t believe we have changed our position on the Hyde Amendment, but if we do, you’ll be the first to know,” White House deputy press secretary Eric Schultz told The Daily Signal on Tuesday.
The Hyde Amendment, in effect since 1976 and named for the late Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., prohibits the use of federal money for abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is at stake.
