As per Wikipedia, "In U.S. politics, the Hyde Amendment is a legislative provision barring the use of federal funds to pay for abortion except to save the life of the woman, or if the pregnancy arises from incest or rape.[1][2] Legislation, including the Hyde Amendment, generally restricts the use of funds allocated for the Department of Health and Human Services and consequently has significant effects involving Medicaid recipients.[1][2]In 2018, 37% of Americans believe that the practice of abortion should be illegal in most cases, while 58% believe it should be legal in most cases, results consistent with prior years.[3] A minority of U.S. adults take an absolutist position, that abortion should be either illegal (15%) or legal (25%) in all cases.[3]The Hyde Amendment itself is supported by 57% of voters and opposed by 36%, as of 2016."
