“… The Guttmacher review…conducted its own literature review on the impact of the Hyde amendment on abortion rates in 2009. Because the decline in abortion was so clear, even the study’s authors were forced to acknowledge that the “best studies found 18 to 37 percent of pregnancies that would’ve ended in Medicaid funded abortion were carried to term when public funding was no longer available.” We then rightly acknowledge that the Medicaid funded births of these individuals are lives saved due to the Hyde amendment.
