Pelosi's House Tries to Strip Pro-Life Policies; Your Voice
Needed


 

Do you want your federal tax dollars used to promote abortion and to provide
new grants to Planned Parenthood?

That's what the U.S. House is considering this week, and we are
urging all Americans who care about life to make your voice heard in
Congress.

These pro-abortion maneuvers are part of a major appropriations bill
that funds several departments, including Defense, Commerce, Education
and Health & Human Services. It follows on the heels of another
funding measure last week that weakened pro-life protections against
abortion funding overseas. Despite all Republicans plus seven
Democrats voting "no", the Pelosi House passed that bill,
sending it on to the Senate.

This week's bill, H.R. 7617, goes even further:

* It alters current law to allows federal funds to pay for
abortions in the District of Columbia.

* It requires the Title X family planning program to be
administered as it was during the Obama Administration, funding
groups including Planned Parenthood that lost federal dollars
under President Trump's Protecting Life Rule.

* It forces Title X grantees to provide information about abortion
to every patient with a positive pregnancy test.

* It overturns the Conscience Protection Rule that was issued by
the Trump Administration to protect health care workers from
discrimination if they do not want to participate in abortion,
sterilization, or assisted suicide.

* It blocks teen-pregnancy funding from going to groups that teach
abstinence before marriage, and it also zeroes out all funding
for abstinence education.

It's clear that the Democrat-controlled House is committed to
undermining pro-life policies at every turn.  They have used the
appropriations process to gut pro-life rules and roll back
life-affirming executive orders.  While Speaker of the House
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) clearly has a tight grip on the Democrat caucus,
all Members of Congress need to hear from their constituents about the
importance of protecting life in legislation.  It is true that
the life issue is a mostly partisan one today, but it need not be that
way forever.

As Rep. Chris Smith, chairman of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus,
said during debate last week, "Someday, future generations of
Americans will look back on us and wonder how and why a society that
prided itself on its commitment to human rights precluded virtually
all protection to the weakest and most vulnerable - unborn
children."

If you believe life should be protected in law by all lawmakers, will
you contact your representative and ask him or her to vote against
H.R. 7617 because of the many anti-life provisions it contains? It
only takes a few moments on our Action Center.
