representative henry hyde who brought it forward said he wanted to restrict abortion for everyone, but, all he had was medicaid bill so you would have to restrict it for poor people on medicaid. the hyde commitment, which banned federal funding of abortion and to limit access to abortion for most people who are on medicaid in the state, there were attempts to oppose it at the time but what ended up happening is the democratic party and abortion rights groups, a lot of which were white led at the time, were willing to trade away access for poor people for other political priorities. sohe hyde amendment, the ban on funding of -- federal funding of abortionecame accepted precedent and accepted routine part of the process for many years. we are only starting to see that shift now. i think thats because the reproductive justice framework, the movement led by black women that has always known that roe was not enough to protect rights for everyone, that has always known the courts are not going to save abortion rights because they haven't saved rights of people of color in the past -- quite t
