Blurring Reproductive Rights and the Religious Right
I have a new article up at Religion Dispatches. The editors summarized it this way:
The principle of the Hyde Amendment, which restricted federal funds from paying for abortion, is now seen as an acceptable, “abortion-neutral” position for the pro-choice party. How did the most significant anti-abortion legislation in history become a moderate compromise?
Gloria Feldt responded at Not Under The Bus:
I’m appalled that the president, Congress, pro-choice organizations, and as a result the media are calling the current Hyde amendment restrictions on abortion coverage an acceptable compromise.
