I'm not seeing your principle. The principle is the blocking of the funding, and more generally preventing government entanglement with abortion. The argument isn't really a matter of principle, but its not a technicality either, its the issue we where discussing. The amendment keeps the principle in place. Less availability is a separate issue. "Reducing availability isn't extending the scope of the Hyde Amendment" Of course it is. It dosn't change the rule but extends the scope of the rule to a larger group of women than are currently affected. It doesn't change the rule = it doesn't extend the scope of the Hyde Amendment. The Hyde Ammendment applied to all government funding before, and it still does afterwards. If government takes over more funding the problem is the government take over.
