President Joe Biden has released his proposed budget for 2025, and it not only removes the Hyde Amendment, which prevents the federal funding of abortion, but would include the taxpayer funding of abortion through all three trimesters of pregnancy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In a press release<\/a>, the Biden administration announced information about the new budget, and boasted that the new budget would support “Family Planning Services, Maternal Health, and Health Equity.” Funding for the Title X program would be increased by 36%, to $390 million. The Biden administration previously struck down a Trump-era rule requiring Title X recipients to completely separate abortion programs from family planning programs, meaning abortion businesses are again receiving<\/a> Title X dollars.<\/p>\n

“Americans deserve access to the healthcare they need,” the press release said, “including maternal healthcare, contraception, and family planning services, which are essential to ensuring control over personal decisions about their own health, lives, and families.”<\/p>\n

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra applauded the budget in his own press release. Becerra is radically pro-abortion<\/a>, having expressed support for partial-birth abortions<\/a>, fought to preserve taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, and led a years-long legal crusade<\/a> against the Little Sisters of the Poor and undercover pro-life journalists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis budget lays out a vision for a nation that invests in all aspects of health, fosters innovation, and supports its most vulnerable. This budget continues our shift from a nation focused on illness to one that promotes wellness,\u201d he said. \u201cHHS is at the center of some of the most important issues for American families. This budget demonstrates the Biden-Harris Administration is deeply committed to this work.\u201d<\/p>\n

But destroying human beings in the womb is not “promoting wellness,” as these physicians eventually came to realize:<\/p>\n
