Today SBA List joined pro-life congressmen and leaders of other pro-life organizations for a press conference at the Capitol. We called on the U.S. Senate to immediately pass H.R. 7, the No Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Act sponsored by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ).

This life-saving legislation passed the pro-life House of Representatives almost a year ago… but Obama’s pro-abortion Senate, led by Majority Leader Harry Reid, has blocked it ever since.
Pro-life women and members of Congress gave a clear message at the press conference: the No Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Act must be passed immediately to protect the unborn and the consciences of millions of pro-life Americans. Taxpayer funding of abortion is deeply unpopular with Americans, both pro-life and pro-choice, and Senators opposing this bill are betraying their constituents.
