House Dems introduce bill to allow taxpayer funding of overseas abortions
Fox News
A group of House Democrats introduced legislation Tuesday that would allow foreign assistance to flow to overseas abortion.
This bill would go beyond Biden's repeal of the Mexico City policy -- which when in place --requires foreign non-governmental organizations to certify that they would not "perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning" using funds from any source as a condition of receiving U.S. government global family planning funding. For decades after Roe v. Wade, the U.S. has prohibited overseas abortion funding under the Helms Amendment. But Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., and her colleagues -- Reps. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., Barbara Lee, D-Calif., Jackie Speier, D-Calif. -- are arguing that the funding should be restored.More Related News
