Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) issued the following statement for the 40th anniversary of the Hyde Amendment. The Hyde Amendment is a provision included in government funding bills that restricts taxpayer funding from being used for abortion.  
 
“The introduction of the Hyde Amendment to protect life was a revolutionary idea that still shares the support of the American people,” said Latta. “With a large majority believing that taxpayer money should not be used to carry out abortions, it’s important that we keep in place this amendment that has saved more than two million lives. With Hyde under attack more than ever before, it’s important that we continue to stand up for the unborn and keep the Hyde Amendment as a staple in all government funding bills.”
