The bill prohibits federal funding of abortions and abortion coverage under the recently enacted health care law. “Protection of unborn life is a universal issue that has become one of the most unifying causes over the past several decades,” said Aderholt. “There is one thing a majority of Americans can agree upon and that is that they do not want to see taxpayer dollars used to pay for abortions and I whole-heartedly agree.” “The healthcare legislation that was signed into law in 2010 does not protect the unborn and in no way included clear or direct provisions that would prohibit federal funding of abortions, and the President’s Executive Order 13535 on this issue was wholly inadequate. Executive Orders can be rescinded at any time and cannot be relied upon to clarify such a critical matter.” “I am proud to have cosponsored the Protect Life Act and its passage today is an important step in ensuring the right to life of each and every human being is preserved and protected in our great nation.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:12:51Z |
