Government leaders at every level are taking unprecedented action to protect American lives from the coronavirus. At the same time, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is using the crisis to seek funding to take more lives through abortions.

You read that correctly – trading lives for lives!

Pelosi’s coronavirus plan included a billion-dollar funding stream with a provision that would have excluded the Hyde Amendment -- which has protected against taxpayer funding of abortions for decades.

The good news is that White House negotiators discovered the provision, and they, along with pro-life House leaders, fought to remove it from the bill – with congressional and White House negotiations ongoing today.

The bad news is that Speaker Pelosi is now pushing a separate bill that will do the same thing. That bill could come before the U.S. House of Representatives soon. Your voice to Congress is needed!

Pelosi’s gambit is outrageous for lots of reasons:

• She was capitalizing on Americans’ fears and the urgency of the situation to try to sneak through a radical measure to exclude longstanding pro-life protections.
• At a time when most Americans are unified around saving lives, her devotion to the abortion industry is so strong that she is trying to use this crisis to advance a policy that will take more lives.
• The bottom line: No matter the timing or situation, forcing taxpayers to pay for abortions is unconscionable.

But now this battle has shifted. Instead of a sneak attack, it’s out in the open.

Please contact your member of Congress and U.S. Senators and urge them to oppose any effort to allow taxpayer funding of abortions. Even if you’re not sure who your member is, you can send a message in 30 seconds on our Action Center.

Thank you for making your voice heard for life!
