A pro-life member of Congress vows to fight tax-paid abortions at military facilities.
Congressman Chris Smith (R-New Jersey)
An amendment to the Senate version of the Annual Department of Defense Authorization bill would permit the abortions, which have been banned since former President Clinton signed it into law in 1996. Congressman Chris Smith (R-New Jersey) told Fox News there will be a fight if the bill reaches the House with the amendment intact.
Rep. Chris Smith (R-New Jersey)"So we will stand very firm -- and I welcome the fight," says Smith. "If they want to bring it, I do believe that there will be an overwhelming vote to keep our military hospitals as nurturing centers, not abortion mills."
And certainly not on the taxpayers' dime, he adds. "When we hire abortionists, when we provide operating rooms and recovery rooms and nurses -- all of whom would participate in the killing of that child and the wounding of that mother by way of abortion -- that is facilitation, that is public funding," he explains.
Smith believes the House will not approve the bill if it authorizes abortions on military bases and other facilities. The Senate is to consider the measure this summer.
