China Joe's deputy budget director pick: Taxpayer-funded abortions necessary for 'racial justice'
|
[Washington Examiner] President Biden’s White House deputy budget director pick has sparked controversy after claiming that access to abortion is a matter of "racial justice."
"The President has spoken in favor of Congress ending the Hyde Amendment as part of his commitment to providing comprehensive health care for all women," Shalanda Young said in a written portion of her confirmation process obtained by the New York Post on Thursday.
"Further, eliminating the Hyde Amendment is a matter of economic and racial justice because it most significantly impacts Medicaid recipients, who are low-income and more likely to be women of color," Young added.
Young had been asked a question about the Hyde Amendment, which bans federal funding to abortion except in specific cases such as rape and incest.
Some Republicans have expressed concern over Young’s views on abortion, including Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, who voted "no" on her nomination this week.
Anti-abortion groups have criticized Young’s opposition to the Hyde Amendment as well.
"Shalanda Young’s radical support for abortion on demand ignores the devastating toll of abortion on black communities: an abortion rate four times higher than that of their white counterparts," Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser said. "This isn’t justice — it is a profound injustice. The fact is, the Hyde Amendment saves 60,000 lives every year."
Young’s nomination was advanced through two Senate committees, but the latest comments could jeopardize her confirmation with more centrist Democrats and Republicans who initially supported her.
