Pro-abortion groups panic over GOP tax bill

Pro-life groups are pleased with a provision in tax reform legislation but their opponents are predictably upset.

Tax reform isn't where one would expect to deal with the issue of abortion and life, but Jim Sedlak of American Life League tells OneNewsNow there is a provision that recognizes life begins at conception.  The provision, says Sedlak, is “that the children who are confirmed as being present in the mother's womb, but not yet born, can have college accounts set up for them and contributions to those accounts become deductible from the parent's income.”

Although the measure has nothing to do with abortion, abortion organizations such as NARAL and Planned Parenthood have begun an aggressive campaign to have it removed from the legislation. If the tax bill passes as-is, NARAL warned on Twitter, it will include the "unprecedented recognition of personhood ideology" for the first time ever.
