Urgent Pro-Life Briefing TONIGHT: Your tax dollars could fund abortion
Urgent Nationwide Pro-Life Briefing: “Hands Off Hyde” — Happening Tonight
A serious threat to one of the most important pro-life protections in federal law is unfolding in Washington — and the next few days could determine whether it stands or falls.
For nearly 50 years, the Hyde Amendment has prevented Americans from being forced to pay for abortion with their tax dollars. That long-standing safeguard for women, children, and conscience is now at risk of being weakened or excluded from key federal funding decisions.
Just days ago, the US House passed an extension of federal Obamacare subsidies without including long-standing Hyde protections. Guardrails that have reliably blocked taxpayer-funded abortion for decades were suddenly treated as “flexible.”
Attention now turns to the United States Senate, where critical decisions are expected soon.
A Live National Briefing — Tonight
In response, pro-life and pro-family leaders from across the country are coming together tonight for an urgent nationwide online briefing to explain what’s happening and what comes next.
Center for Christian Virtue President Aaron Baer will be joined by:
Marjorie Dannenfelser, President, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America
Craig DeRoche, President & CEO, Family Policy Alliance
David Bereit, Executive Director, Life Leadership Conference
Along with key leaders from other pivotal states
Together, they will walk through:
What is happening in Washington right now
Why taxpayer dollars could soon be used to fund abortion
How citizens can act quickly and effectively to stop it

Why This Matters for Ohio
Ohio is a battleground state with national influence. U.S. Senators pay close attention to what Ohio voters expect — especially on foundational moral issues like the sanctity of human life.
More than 1,000 pro-life Americans have already registered for this briefing, with momentum building rapidly and more than 2,000 expected to attend — all with incredibly short notice.
That alone should signal how serious this moment is.
What’s at Stake
If Hyde protections are weakened or removed:
Taxpayer-funded abortion could expand nationwide
Long-standing guardrails could collapse
Decisions made now could shape federal policy for years to come
The Hyde Amendment has never been automatic. It has always required vigilance — and that vigilance is needed again.
This briefing will provide clear facts, strategic insight, and specific next steps, including how Ohioans can make a nationwide difference and ensure their Senators stand strong for life.
This is a moment that will be remembered.
Let’s make sure it’s remembered for courage — and for protecting life.
