At least they’re being honest for a change.

(CNSNews.com) — A group of House Democrats — asked directly if they support the use of federal (taxpayer) funds to pay for abortion — said yes, they do.

At press conference on Wednesday, the Democrats also voiced their opposition to two Republican-sponsored bills that would prohibit federal funding of abortion.

CNSNews.com asked if any of the House members at the press conference supported the use of federal funds for abortion.

“There is not one person in this room that would favor -– no, all of us in this room oppose the Hyde Amendment,” Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) said. “All of us in this room oppose restricting federal funds for abortion.”

The Hyde Amendment, created in 1976, is attached each year to the annual appropriations bill for the Department of Health and Human Services, and it prevents any program under HHS, such as Medicaid, from paying for abortion except in the cases of rape, incest, or where the life of the mother is at risk.

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) said no one in the room is happy about the Hyde Amendment, including its author, the late Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.). He also said the Republican-sponsored bills barring taxpayer funding of abortion “declare war on women.”

“We’re in a tense peace on this issue in that we’re an anti-choice Congress in a pro-choice country. And so we’ve worked out this kind of cold peace treaty that I’m not happy about, and I think none of us are happy about,” Weiner said.
