Washington, D.C. – Today the House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced its reconciliation bill which would stop forced taxpayer funding of the Big Abortion industry. SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser praised the bill, saying:
“We congratulate Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Brett Guthrie and House GOP allies for their hard work on a budget that serves moms, babies and taxpayers alike. SBA will proudly score in favor of this ‘one big beautiful bill’ that includes the vital priority of stopping forced funding of the abortion industry. To no one’s surprise, pro-abortion Democrats peddled lies and ran cover for abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood. Their taxpayer funding increased almost $100 million in one year, hitting $792.2 million in 2023, as health care like pap smears and breast exams plummeted – all while ending a record 402,230 babies’ lives. We applaud pro-life congresswomen Harshbarger, Houchin, Fedorchak and Lee for speaking out during the debate to set the record straight and defeat a Democrat amendment that would have kept funneling money to Big Abortion. The Big Abortion industry is focused on profits, politics and lawfare, not providing quality services for low-income women in a safe environment. Patients are far better off going to community health centers that outnumber Planned Parenthood 15:1, where Medicaid recipients among others can get much more comprehensive care.”
The reconciliation bill now moves to the House Budget Committee to be combined with bills from the other House committees before going to the House floor. After House passage, it will go to the Senate for consideration.
