During the presidential campaign, President Obama stated his opposition to the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the use of federal funds to pay for elective abortions, and announced his support for the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), which would, among other things, override pro-life laws (e.g., parental consent; informed consent; waiting periods) in states that choose to have them, and force states to pay for abortions with taxpayer money whenever state health care or insurance plans pay for child birth.
