As a presidential candidate, Joe Biden told an audience in South Carolina, “There’s no rationale that can be offered that if you’re covered by the federal system, you cannot then use federal funding to seek reproductive health care.” Before winning last year’s election, Biden also told primary voters that he “could no longer continue to abide by the Hyde Amendment,” according to Politico.
With these promises in mind, Biden included this opposition to the Hyde Amendment as part of his fiscal 2022 budget request, according to The Washington Post.
