Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05) released the following statement in response to a new report published by the\u00a0independent Government Accountability Office (GAO). The report finds the Obama Administration has knowingly disregarded\u00a0bipartisan policy that prevented taxpayer funded elective abortion.  \u201cThe American people deserve an Administration committed to carrying out the law \u2013 not usurping it. Disappointingly, today\u2019s report marks one more example of the President\u2019s disregard for the law and for hard-earned taxpayer dollars. For decades, both Republicans and Democrats have believed that taxpayer dollars should not fund elective abortion. Yet this report highlights Obamacare\u2019s unlawful dismissal of these bipartisan measures.\u00a0  \u201cWe must come together to protect hardworking taxpayers across the country, which is why I was proud to support bipartisan legislation that corrects this abuse \u2013 and I am hopeful the Senate will take up this important legislation. We must put an end to this unacceptable executive overreach.\u201d  The GAO report, released this morning, finds that American taxpayer dollars are funding abortion under the\u00a0Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Earlier this year, Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers voted in favor of H.R. 7, the\u00a0No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, which protects taxpayer dollars from funding elective abortion.  ###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://web.archive.org/web/20140918210757/http://mcmorris.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=96&itemid=2369"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8865748532116413, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
