Still waiting on Iky, though...
Sorry about the wait.
Been "just shoot me now" sick.
I saw that your letter was published.
Where were we?
Oh yeah...you are correct. The PPACA does not "scrap" the Hyde Amendment.
President Obama issued an executive order that protects the Hyde Amendment far more than any actions from Republicans in the White House or Congress have done.
You don't appear to understand the Hyde Amendment in relation to the PPACA, or B.O.'s executive order for that matter.

misleading, Steven, to say that tax dollars will not fund abortions.
