A pair of Home Republicans launched a invoice Thursday to stop the federal funding for transportation to get abortions.
The Defunding Abortion Transportation Act was launched by Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., and Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., as first reported by the Every day Caller.
The invoice would prohibit states from offering non-emergency medical transportation funds (NEMT), as has been thought-about by the Biden administration after the Supreme Courtroom overruled Roe v. Wade in late June, kicking abortion legislation again to the states.
After the ruling, Well being and Human Providers Secretary (HHS) Xavier Becerra stated the administration was weighing serving to fund transportation for pregnant ladies who search to get an abortion, if the process was restricted by state legislation.
Vice President Kamala Harris added the administration was contemplating “vouchers for journey” for ladies looking for to get an abortion, in line with the Every day Caller.
“The Biden administration is gearing as much as fund interstate journey for folks looking for abortions,” Carter instructed the Every day Caller. “That’s incorrect. The Defunding Abortion Transportation Act will put guardrails in place to stop the federal authorities from subsidizing the demise of unborn kids. Democrats’ abortion agenda, which permits for taxpayer-funded, elective abortions up till the second of start, is excessive and have to be reined in.”
Stefanik added, “Taxpayer {dollars} ought to by no means fund abortions.”
“Because the Biden administration makes an attempt to subsidize entry to states like New York run by far-left governments that proceed to allow radical taxpayer-funded abortion on demand, I am working to guard life by prohibiting states from offering transportation throughout state traces to terminate the lifetime of the unborn,” Stefanik added to the Every day Caller.
