Pence - Federal Abortion Funding Must Stop

Pence: Federal Abortion Funding Must Stop

JULY 16, 2010

MD Is latest state to cover abortion under ObamaCare

Washington, DC - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, Chairman of the House Republican Conference, released the following statement today in response to state documents which reveal that Maryland’s high-risk insurance pool will cover abortion services with taxpayer dollars:

"This is one more example of a broken promise in ObamaCare. It is morally wrong to end an unborn human life and it is reprehensible to take taxpayer dollars from millions of pro-life Americans and use them to pay for abortions.

"I call on Congress to act quickly on critical legislation by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Rep. Joe Pitts (R-PA) to stop the administration from using ObamaCare to fund abortions."
