Dannenfelser: âWould do nothing more than prop up Obamacare, the largest expansion of abortion on-demand since Roe.â
WASHINGTON, D.C. â Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) this afternoon announced its opposition to the Alexander-Murray health care legislation that fails to address abortion funding in Obamacare.Â
âThe legislation proposed by Sens. Alexander and Murray would do nothing more than prop up Obamacare, the largest expansion of abortion on-demand since Roe,â said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. âThis is an inadequate, short-sighted approach which fails to address the abortion funding problems created by the health care overhaul. Right now nearly 900 health care plans subsidized by taxpayer dollars cover abortion â forcing taxpayers to be complicit in the destruction of human life.
âIn no way does the Alexander-Murray bill fulfill Republicansâ campaign promise to repeal and replace the ACA. Thatâs why Congress must use reconciliation to address all of the issues, including abortion-funding, in Obamacare.â
