Pro-Abortion House Members Block "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act"

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
After the Biden administration proposed a budget without Hyde Amendment language, pro-life legislators introduced a bill that would prevent federal tax dollars from funding abortion. This week, pro-abortion legislators in the House of Representatives voted to block the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act.

On Tuesday, House Republican leadership and the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus co-chairs filed a motion attempting to force a vote before the full House of Representatives. The next day, however, pro-abortion legislators voted to block that motion. Every Democrat present voted together to block the bill.

Pro-life legislators say that they will continue to put forth motions to call the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act to a vote.
