Two-hundred House Republicans signed a letter Tuesday to protect the Hyde Amendment, a decades-old policy restricting Medicaid funding for abortions.

Enacted in 1976, three years after the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide, the Hyde Amendment blocks federal funds from being used to pay for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or life endangerment. It is not a permanent statute, but exists by being added into federal spending bills every year.
