House Votes to Codify Pro-Life Language
The vote on H.R. 3, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, in the House of Representatives demonstrated a strong pro-life ethos, as Congress overwhelmingly agreed that measures protecting the life of the unborn, historically attached to funding bills, should be codified.
The focus turns to the Senate to stop taxpayer funding of abortion
The House of Representatives took the first step yesterday to end government funding for abortion when it passed the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act by a vote of 251-175.
Close the loopholes. End all taxpayer funding of abortion!
When Congress comes back next week, it will vote on The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, H.R. 3. Please call your representative today at 202-225-3121 and ask him/her to vote for this bill!
