2020 presidential hopefuls want to repeal Hyde

Published in Blog on May 29, 2019 by Grayson Nils Forsberg

As the 2020 Presidential race continues, we begin to see a clear picture of the various platforms being promulgated.

Such platforms include medicare for all, reparations, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal

If we thought things couldn’t get any worse, we were gravely mistaken. As the pro-abortion movement progresses, so do arguments forwarding additional government tyranny. 

Several 2020 presidential candidates and other Democrats have endorsed repealing the Hyde Amendment. Some primary supporters are:

  • Joe Biden
  • House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
  • Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) R
  • Robert Francis O’Rourke
  • Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)
  • Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA)
  • Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI)
  • Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

As noted in a report for National Review, the hypocrisy on the Hyde Amendment is staggering with former Vice-President Joe Biden’s 1994 words:

“I will continue to abide by the same principle that has guided me throughout my 21 years in the Senate: those of us who are opposed to abortion should not be compelled to pay for them.”

“As you may know, I have consistently — on no fewer than 50 occasions — voted against federal funding of abortions.”

Joe Biden has kowtowed to the radicalism of our elected officials, should we have to?

In a report for The Hill Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) stated:

“The current legislation for Medicare for All would cover abortion as an essential health care component, and I think that would as a necessity be in any legislation we would pass in the future.”

The federal government wants to force at least half the country to fund a position they don’t support.

This is why we need Article V of the Constitution. Article V states:

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress.

Petition your state legislator

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and businesses is a recipe for disaster.

What is less known is that the Founders gave state legislatures the power to act as a final check on abuses of power by Washington, DC. Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention to proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington DC.

I support Convention of States; a national movement to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.

I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of an Article V convention. You can find a copy of the model resolution and the Article V Pocket Guide (which explains the process and answers many questions) here: https://conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf

I ask that you support Convention of States and consider becoming a co-sponsor. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:
