NOW President Terry O’Neill writes for The Huffington Post: “When anti-choice activists proclaim “no taxpayer funding for abortion,” as they do when they attack Planned Parenthood, defenders of abortion care often try to shut down the argument by saying that “settled law” like the Hyde Amendment already prohibits this and that Planned Parenthood doesn’t do “taxpayer funded abortions.” It takes a good deal of courage to go beyond this reasoning and spend political capital on a direct challenge to the Hyde Amendment.
Which is exactly what Hillary Clinton is doing, and why she deserves our respect and support.”
