The Democratic presidential candidate took aim at the former vice president's stance on the provision, which she argued unfairly targets low-income women.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren took aim at fellow presidential candidate Joe Biden’s support of the Hyde Amendment on Wednesday, slamming the abortion funding restriction as an attack on underprivileged women that had been “wrong for a long time.”
Many of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates have proposed repealing the Hyde Amendment, particularly after many states around the nation have moved to dramatically restrict access to abortion, including recent efforts in Alabama and Georgia. “Understand this: Women of means will still have access to abortions. Who won’t will be poor women, will be working women, will be women who can’t afford to take off three days from work, will be very young women who have been raped, will be women who have been molested by someone in their own family,” Warren said. “We do not pass laws to take away that freedom from the women who are most vulnerable.
