What they didn\u2019t know was that the president would be the biggest migraine of them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In what was supposed to be a GOP retreat laying out some of the biggest priorities of the year, Donald Trump decided to throw a stick of dynamite into a debate that was already as combustible as it gets for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune\u2019s (R-S.D.) tiny majority. \u201cYou have to be a little flexible on Hyde,\u201d Trump\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonstand.com\/article\/gop-prolife-orgs-forcefully-defend-hyde-amendment-amid-trumps-backpedaling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a>\u00a0Republicans. \u201cYou know that.\u201d But not surprisingly, the suggestion that Hyde \u2014 the only amendment standing between Americans and the Democrats\u2019 dream of taxpayer-funded abortions \u2014 is negotiable after 50 years set off a string of fire alarms up and down the conservative movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cI almost fell out of my chair,\u201d one House Republican\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2026\/01\/06\/conservatives-anti-abortion-trump-health-care-gop-00712565\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">admitted<\/a>\u00a0to Politico afterward. Thune had already conceded that getting past the Democrats\u2019 objections to the Hyde Amendment was \u201cprobably the most challenging part\u201d of any negotiations on the Obamacare subsidies. But now, with Trump\u2019s sudden shakiness on a core value, more senators and congressmen are racing to underscore what an unmitigated disaster abandoning Hyde would be \u2014 not just for the party, but for millions of innocent lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cI\u2019m not flexible on the value of every single child,\u201d Senator James Lankford (R-Okla.) insisted to Family Research Council President Tony Perkins on Tuesday\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oqSNQ4nQA3c&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Washington Watch<\/a>.\u201d \u201cEvery single child is valuable,\u201d he argued. \u201cThere aren\u2019t some children that are disposable, and some children that are valuable. Every child is valuable. And so, that\u2019s not an area that I\u2019m flexible on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Like so many conservatives, the Oklahoman hands it to Trump for all of the pro-life strides he\u2019s made but underscores what a fatal mistake surrendering on Hyde would be. \u201cI do give him credit. He\u2019s done what\u2019s called the Mexico City Policy [to take away] funding from international abortions with taxpayer dollars. He has actually restored funding that Biden took away from pro-[lifers] with different grants that go to different states. He has been very good on defunding Planned Parenthood. So, there\u2019s been a lot of very, very strong pro-life things that he\u2019s done.\u201d But this, Lankford shook his head, \u201cThat\u2019s a red line I\u2019m not going to cross. I\u2019m not going to break [away from] what we\u2019re doing in health care. The VA doesn\u2019t do abortions,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cDOD doesn\u2019t do abortions. [Native American] health care doesn\u2019t do abortions. We don\u2019t do abortions with Medicare, Medicaid. We should not have it anywhere.\u201d Right now, he explained, \u201cThe only place that abortion funding for elective abortion exists and subsidizing it is in Obamacare. And that needs to go away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Lankford, who held a press call Wednesday morning reiterating that he \u201ccannot support something that intentionally goes around Hyde,\u201d emphasized that he and other Republicans \u201chave been very outspoken to the Trump administration\u201d on this. \u201cThey should reverse all those policies,\u201d he said of the COVID-era decision to allow taxpayer-funded abortion in the Obamacare subsidies. \u201cThey have had no shame in reversing other Biden policies. They should reverse this policy as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Obviously, everyone in the GOP is desperate to solve the country\u2019s health care problem \u2014 especially in an election year when both sides have so much to lose. But walking away from 50 years of principle is a losing strategy in a party where a whopping\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kofc.org\/en\/resources\/communications\/polls\/2025-kofc-marist-poll-results.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">83% reject the idea of taxpayer-funded abortion<\/a>. Americans expect this kind of radical policy proposal from Democrats, who are operating from an ideology untethered from morality. But to see Republicans give even an inch on this outrageous notion that Americans should be forced to bankroll the destruction of human life is astounding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">But then, what do Republicans expect after the miserable excuse for a party platform in 2024? The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/downloads.frc.org\/EF\/EF24G50.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">16-page memo<\/a>\u00a0was a shell of its\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/prod-cdn-static.gop.com\/media\/documents\/DRAFT_12_FINAL%5B1%5D-ben_1468872234.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2016 self<\/a>\u00a0in all the ways that mattered. Gone were the calls for protecting life from conception, for opposing taxpayer-funded abortion at home through the Hyde Amendment or abroad through the Mexico City Policy. FRC\u2019s Perkins warned that gutting the language of the GOP\u2019s guiding document would lead to disastrous fallout like this. Without a clear and specific commitment to life uniting Republicans, there\u2019s nothing to bind the president \u2014 or anyone else \u2014 to conservative absolutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Instead, the 2024 document states simply: \u201cWe believe that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees that no person can be denied life or liberty without due process and that the states are, therefore, free to pass laws protecting those rights. After 51 years, because of us, that power has been given to the states and to a vote of the people. We will oppose late term abortion while supporting mothers and policies that advance prenatal care, access to birth control, and IVF (fertility treatments).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The version concocted by the RNC and Trump slashed the pro-life language from more than 1,300 words in 2020 to a paltry 90, telling Americans everything they need to know about its priority (or lack thereof) in this party. Now, a year and a half later, conservatives are wondering why there\u2019s no fidelity to the most basic contract on abortion between this country and its leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cIt is really remarkable,\u201d FRC\u2019s Quena Gonzalez\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/HyMq6t0dp40\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">admitted<\/a>\u00a0to Perkins on Tuesday. \u201cIt\u2019s been in every party platform since Roe v. Wade until two years ago. And President Trump,\u201d he reminded everyone, \u201cissued an executive order in his first month in office on enforcing the Hyde Amendment. So this is a remarkable moment we\u2019re in.\u201d He paused before adding, \u201cCompromise here on something seemingly small, maybe seemingly temporary, is really a red flag because we don\u2019t want to be the party of compromise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The problem, FRC\u2019s president pointed out, is that once an exception is made, there\u2019s no going back. \u201cIf we say, \u2018We\u2019ve got to address this crisis in health care \u2026 and the Democrats won\u2019t vote for it unless it covers abortion, so Republicans [have to be flexible]\u2019 \u2026 [then] you basically throw [your] principles out the window. If you do it one time,\u201d he contended, \u201cyou\u2019ll do it a second time. And if you do it a second time, you\u2019ll do it a third time, and before you know it, we are funding abortions in this country wholesale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Meanwhile, the frustration from long-time pro-lifers is palpable. \u201c\u2018We need to be flexible?\u2019\u201d Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) repeated. \u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d he wondered on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/HyMq6t0dp40\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Washington Watch<\/a>.\u201d Trump\u2019s whole statement is bewildering, Smith echoed. \u201c[These are children who are] about to be exterminated in a very painful way, especially through dismemberment, [or] starved to death through the abortion pill [which is] very dangerous to women. Based on the most recent data that came out last April, [there\u2019s] a complication rate of 11%, when they advertised that it\u2019s less than one-half of 1%. So women are suffering. Babies are suffering,\u201d he underscored. \u201cWe need to reassert our commitment to the most defenseless group of people on earth: unborn children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Amazingly, the Hyde Amendment\u2019s history, as Joe Biden\u2019s pre-presidential run showed, was a story of bipartisan consensus. Until Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign in 2016, the idea of forcing open Americans\u2019 wallets and ordering them to pay for the destruction of life was never really a question. Year after year, the Marist organization finds that while Democrats may have staked out extreme ground on the issue, voters haven\u2019t followed. As recently as 2025,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kofc.org\/en\/resources\/communications\/polls\/2025-kofc-marist-poll-results.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">57%<\/a>\u00a0of the country still rejects the idea that abortion\u2019s cost should be footed by taxpayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">One of the greatest fallacies about the Affordable Care Act, Rep. Smith wants people to know, is that President Obama signed an executive order that made the Hyde Amendment apply to his 2010 namesake. \u201cIt does not. \u2026 [Suggesting that] Obamacare is covered by Hyde [is the] biggest lie I have seen in 45 years as a member of Congress. But it convinced some of the pro-life Democrats to vote for it.\u201d In his home state of New Jersey, \u201cYou can\u2019t even get a policy under Obamacare that does not pay for abortion on demand [in my state]. And we allow abortions right up to birth in my state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">With a touch of bittersweetness, Smith noted the 50th anniversary of the Hyde Amendment this year. \u201c[Hillary] Clinton tried to get rid of it. Obama tried to get rid of it. Biden tried to get rid of it. But there was once a very strong bipartisan consensus. When I first got here in 1981,\u201d Smith reflected, \u201cthere were about 80 pro-life Democrats. Now they\u2019re down to zero. &#8230; It\u2019s the party of death, the Democratic Party. I say that with sadness.\u201d He paused before stressing, \u201cWe need to get abortion out of Obamacare. Precedent becomes potentially habitual, and we don\u2019t want that. So we\u2019ve got to be very concerned about [this].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We don\u2019t have to imagine how many children would have lost their lives if the Hyde Amendment had never passed. We know.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lozierinstitute.org\/hyde-amendment-has-saved-more-than-2-6-million-unborn-babies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Two million, six hundred thousand<\/a>. They\u2019re alive today because our leaders realized what everyone should: no matter what you think about abortion, forcing people to finance the culture of death is un-American and inhumane. And yet, as pro-lifers blow out the candles on five decades of life-saving legislation, the Left is determined to snuff out future generations. The last thing this nation needs is for Republicans to help them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><em><strong>Suzanne Bowdey serves as editorial director and senior writer at The Washington Stand.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Suzanne Bowdey, originally published January 9, 2026, The Washington Stand Republican leaders knew they were coming back to a headache on health care.
