Pro-Abortion Senators Introduce Bill to Federally Fund Abortion Travel

Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI)

Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Patty Murray (D-WA) introduced a bill on Dec. 8 that would create a federal fund to pay the travel expenses of women who travel out of state for abortions.

The Reproductive Health Travel Fund Act would offer $350 million each year to organizations that help cover the travel costs for women seeking abortions. Spectrum News writes that the funds could be used to pay for lodging, meals, childcare, translation services, and transportation. Most funds would pay the expenses of women who travel from pro-life states to pro-abortion ones.

A similar bill was introduced in the House by Rep Marilyn Strickland (D-WA) in July.
