Manchin's 'red line' on abortion splits Democrats

""That should be the floor of any conversation about abortion is that we're not going to pay for the taking of life of a child with federal dollars," Lankford said of the amendment."

""I think the main point is just that the principle of the Hyde Amendment has been that regardless of what program we're talking about, we shouldn't be funding abortion using taxpayer dollars," Autumn Christensen, policy director of Susan B. Anthony's List, a conservative anti-abortion group, said."

"Christensen argued in an interview that the Hyde Amendment would need to be attached to the reconciliation bill to prohibit federal dollars from going to abortion if Democrats move forward with their plans to create the new Medicaid-like program."

"But that doesn't mean progressives would be happy having to vote for the amendment in order to secure funding for party wish-list items like tuition-free community college, Medicare expansions, and universal pre-kindergarten -- priorities the party hopes to use the bill unlock funding for."

"(D-W.Va.), already a key stumbling block to Democratic unity on the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, has drawn a line in the sand around the issue, but others in the party are split over whether to include the so-called Hyde Amendment in a portion of the spending bill that would create a new federal program to provide health care coverage to low-income individuals in GOP-led states that haven't adopted Medicaid expansions under the Affordable Care Act (ACA)."
