That stance mirrors public opinion as well. A 2008 Zogby poll found that 69% of Americans oppose "taxpayer funding of abortion," which is currently governed by the decades-old Hyde Amendment, the law that...
...provision gave authority to the Secretary of Health and Human Services to determine whether elective abortions would be covered under the public option.
