House Debates Abortions as Bell Tightens Hyde Amendment
In Washington the House returns to the abortion issue with advocates saying federal funding for abortions to poor women will remain restricted. Attorney General Griffin Bell’s opinion narrows the Hyde Amendment further, denying funds even in rape or incest cases, while House rules allow Rep. Daniel Flood to push his amendment first. Abortion supporters push for Senate language, but face procedural hurdles and no guarantee of change.
