"let the money go in a health care account or however you do it let the money go directly to the people. Now, you have to be a little flexible on Hyde. You know that. You gotta be a little flexible, you gotta work something. You gotta use ingenuity, you gotta work. We're all big fans of everything, but you gotta be flex-, you have to have flexibility,"
"It is unjust to force taxpayers to pay for abortion. It is also politically unpopular. Congressional Republicans should hold the line on Hyde, submitted Ryan T. Anderson, the president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. No, no flexibility on my taxpayer dollars going to fund the killing of babies. Not one fraction of an inch of flexibility, agreed The Daily Wire's Megan Basham."
House Republicans were urged to show flexibility on the Hyde Amendment and to allow funds to flow into health-care accounts or directly to individuals. The Hyde Amendment bars federal funds from paying for abortions. Conservative activists and commentators reacted strongly online, calling any taxpayer funding of abortion unjust and politically unpopular. Multiple conservative figures demanded that Congressional Republicans hold the Hyde line and rejected any flexibility. Some observers noted that the party's stance appeared to be shifting away from an unequivocal pro-life posture. The debate generated public criticism and intensified scrutiny of Republican abortion funding policy.
