Nebraska Senator Sponsors Legislation to Protect Life and Prohibit Taxpayer Funding of Abortions
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) sponsored two pieces of legislation protecting life this week. The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act would ensure American taxpayers are not funding, or subsidizing health care plans that would cover, the destruction of innocent human life through abortions. The Protect Life Act specifically prohibits federal taxpayer dollars from being used to pay for elective abortions in the recently passed healthcare law.
“There is no priority more important to me than the protection of unborn children,” said Johanns. “Preventing taxpayer dollars from funding abortion is good policy that is broadly supported by the American people. Congress has endorsed this approach again and again and it should be the law of the land as soon as possible.”
