The pro-life movement demands an end to subsidies that cover abortion
Washington, DC. – One hundred five pro-life groups led by Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America sent a letter to Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate calling on Congress to oppose forced taxpayer funding of abortion through Obamacare.
Pro-life members of Congress have consistently stood against taxpayer-funded abortion in Obamacare since the law was first being debated in Congress and Democrats wrote it to include abortion coverage. Extending subsidies without the protection of the Hyde Amendment is a clear vote to expand abortion on demand, and every pro-life member of Congress must oppose any such effort.
As the letter states:
“As pro-life leaders, we urge you to raise your voice to unequivocally oppose any consideration of extending the COVID-era subsidies without Hyde protections. The pro-life Congress must not be a party to Obama’s abortion funding scheme.”
SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser issued the following statement:
“Democrats are keeping the government shut down to protect the largest expansion of taxpayer-funded abortion since Roe v. Wade – Obamacare. Obamacare forces taxpayers to subsidize insurance plans that pay for abortion on demand. And under the guise of COVID relief, President Biden took it even further, massively expanding those subsidies and the flow of taxpayer dollars to abortion.
“Extending these subsidies without the Hyde Amendment is a vote to expand abortion on demand, and every such vote will be scored by SBA Pro-Life America. The more Washington funds abortion, the more unborn children lose their lives, and the more moms are hurt. This pro-life Congress must not extend the Obama-Biden legacy of taxpayer-funded abortion that ends the lives of countless innocent babies.”
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
