IL Congresswoman Mary Miller Introduces Protecting Life on College Campus Act

On Tuesday, Rep. Mary Miller (IL-15), Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21), and Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) introduced a new bill that would prohibit federal funds from going to colleges or universities that provide abortions or abortion drugs on-campus.

“Chemical abortions are the future the abortion issue is lobbying for, and I know that as a mother of five daughters, my girls and their peers are the most vulnerable to the chemical abortion industry. The abortion industry does not advocate for women, as they constantly claim to do. They exploit young women but leave them to deal with the consequences and severe potential side effects all on their own,” said Miller. “American taxpayers should not be forced by Democrats to fund the abortion providers in this country directly or indirectly. The Protecting Life on College Campus Act stands up for the many Americans who share a deeply held moral opposition to ending life in the womb.”

The bill was created in response to a new California law mandating that public universities make abortion pills available on their campuses. The law takes effect in 2023, and it will affect all 34 public universities in California.

The pro-life law introduced on Tuesday would require colleges to submit annual reports to the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Secretary of Health and Human Services showing that they do not provide abortion drugs.
