Good On 'Im

While we're on the topic (see the post below) of the culture of life and presidential symbolism, on Monday the President will give the Presidential Medal of Honor to Henry Hyde.

Hyde's lasting legacy will be the federal Hyde amendment, which has prevented federal tax dollars from being used to fund almost all abortions since the 1976. The Supreme Court heard a case in 1980 challenging the law and upheld it as constitutional. In a statement about Hyde, the White House said he has "served America with distinction." "During his career in the House of Representatives, he was a powerful defender of life and a leading advocate for a strong national defense and for freedom around the world," the Bush administration added.
