GOP Introduces ‘No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act’

GOP Introduces ‘No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act’

Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J.

On the heels of the House vote to repeal President Obama’s signature health care overhaul, House Republicans Thursday turned their attention to the issue of abortion, specifically the taxpayer funding of elective abortions.

During a morning press conference, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, insisted that ending taxpayer-funded abortions is a top priority on the Republican agenda during the 112th Congress. Introducing the GOP’s “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act,“ Boehner said the bill would ”make clear that taxpayer funding of elective abortion will not be the policy of this government,“ noting that current law ”does not reflect the will of the American people.”

“Our members feel very strongly about the sanctity of human life,” Boehner added.

The bill was introduced by Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., who said the measure would ensure that Americans “no longer are coerced into using taxpayer money to subsidize the killing of an unborn child.” Smith also said that the bill includes so-called “conscience protections” that would empower courts and ensure that doctors, nurses and other health care practitioners may opt out from having to perform the procedure if it conflicted with their personal beliefs.

Last Spring, the passage of President Obama’s health care reform bill came down to the votes of a key group of pro-life Democrats — including then-Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich. — who insisted on protections against taxpayer-funded abortions. In a compromise, Obama signed an executive order he said reaffirmed existing bans on taxpayer-funded abortions. But the decision riled Republicans and pro-life advocates who claimed the ObamaCare bill included a “congressionally mandated tax to support abortion.”

In response to the GOP’s newest initiative, Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, released a statement claiming the bill was designed “to end insurance coverage for virtually all abortions, including private insurance coverage that Americans pay for with their own money, even in cases involving the most severe dangers to a woman’s health.”

“Under the Smith bill, individuals who have health insurance coverage that includes abortion will face tax penalties because they will not be able to claim existing tax deductions for the cost of their health care,” Richards said. “Similarly, small businesses that offer their employees comprehensive health insurance coverage will also face tax penalties because they will no longer be able to claim existing deductions.”

But Boehner and Smith insisted the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act” would codify the existing ban — the so-called Hyde amendment. The GOP also signaled support for a separate bill from Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., that would ban federal funding of any kind for organizations that perform abortions.

    Don’t make the abortion issue too central. You will loose any and every election from here on out! This is an explosive subject, leave it in the background. Don’t use Federal funds for this, but don’t make it so central and galvanizing. The other point to consider, and this may sound callous, is that it is primarily liberals who advocate abortion. Logically I submit, keep it legal, don’t use tax dollars and let them abort themselves into oblivion! Just a thought, callous but true.

      Perhaps if it were not so easy to ‘dispose’ of their children there would not be so many unwanted babies. Unprotected sex is dangerous and sometimes deadly for women, maybe it is better to teach that if you are irresponsible you will be held accountable. There would be fewer abortions if they weren’t free for the asking.

      So true Kate!
      HUNITHUNIT – The answer is to get government out of the adoption business and let people adopt in the U.S. through non-profit organizations. Laws must be changed so parents don’t have to worry about the child being torn from them years later when the biological parents show up and some stupid judge gives the child back! I personally know couples who went to Russia, China, and S. America to adopt their babies because our adoption laws and red tape are ridiculous! Another failed government program that adds to this problem is Foster Care – look it up and the numbers of children who were legally available for adoption but end up spending their life in foster care or orphanages will make you sick!

      Hunithunit, why do people think if the federal government doesn’t do it ( care for people, educate people, feed people, ad nauseam ) nobody will? It is not the federal governments business to dole out money for abortions, period. You have an abondoned children problem in your town then you take care of it. You can’t handle it then get a group together to work on it. Your group can’t handle it then maybe, just maybe the citizens of your town will agree to raise taxes on themselves to throw at the problem. Don’t expect me, through the theivery of federal taxation, to pay for you state, county, cities problem. You can’t expect people to take responsibility for themselves if you bail them out. I know there will continue to be problems but behavior will change if we don’t take away consequences.
      Besides, the politicians ( and Planned Parenthood ) don’t give a s**t about womens health or unwanted children, it’s about the money.

The only problem with the “women’s health” exemption is that to most of the left that means mental health. Under that scenario all that would be needed is a Doctor who says that if a woman goes full term with a baby may cause her depression.

As if most abortions are necessary to prevent the death of the mother, or the woman needs it because of rape or incest even though those are rare. Abortion is nothing but an easy out for women who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. Now they are upset that we refuse to pay for their choice to murder their child.

And, don’t forget, Obama’s main agenda for this ludicrous health care bill has been to put the private health industry out of business. Ins. companies will conform to the laws of the land, but premiums will go up, and up, and up, depending on the new laws in effect, between now and 2014. By then every one will think the govt’s plan is the way to go, to save money. The trap is set and open wide for the fools.

      SECRET PROJECTS PROTECT OUR NATION AND HELP ME SLEEP AT NIGHT.

      You Blood Libeling Democrats have an insatiable appetite to destroy our nation? Why? It you don’t like America you can leave and there are funds available to help you move. One day patriot troops will be knocking on your door with plane tickets.

      I am only trying to be civil with my posting.

      HOW WILL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE EXTRACT THEIR JUST VENGEANCE ON THESE BLOOD LIBELING DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE RUINED AND BANKRUPTED OUR GREAT NATION?

      These Democrats broke my camel’s back yesterday, not with their $400 bottles of wine, not with their lies, but with their welcoming of the Chinese Monster who imposes forced abortions on his people, who forces people in prison to have their body organs taken for sale against their will, and for keeping a Nobel Peace Prize recipient in jail for political crimes. There were three Nobel Prize winners at the Monster’s State Reception and not one asked the Monster to release the new Prize winner.

      “Vengeance is mine”, says the lord, but he often uses people to carry out his vengeance.

      I have read your comments and… I guess we will see what is good for the country. might some years, but these people don’t care about you, silly rabbits, tricks are for kids. Your comments have been noted and I thank the criticism. Not a Dem or Lib by the way. what about John Hinkleys conneections to the Bush family? Bush was Vice, was he not? hmmmm. Thank god Reagan survived (and I mean that. he was a good man).

      Yes, and they voted to repeal health care too. And they‘ll vote for a bill that says the US can’t violate the second Amendment and they‘ll vote for a bill that says the only real God is the one in the Bible and they’ll keep doing meaningless things hoping you Tea Party people don‘t know it’s all a big show that means nothing in practical terms. And they’ll say “we’re working on reducing the budget and government and spending” and you‘ll all believe they are serious and you’ll all be impressed and send them money and commit to voting for them in the next election after all the meaningless anti-Obama bills the’ve brought up.

      But at some point, the country will need a government that actually governs instead of bringing up meaningless bills to impress the gullible. Then let’s see how impressed you are with all your new Republican House members and their ideas.

      Obama Care was passed in congress and the senate only after President Obama assured some pro-life democrats with his “executive order” that federal funds would not be used to pay for abortions. He simply lied to get the healthcare bill passed.
      It‘s a shame that Barack Obama’s mama wasn’t a pro-abortionist because we wouldn‘t be in the mess we’re in if she had been. I’m against abortion, but in Barack’s case, I’d be willing to make an exception.

      People do not have the “right” to terminate a pregnancy. The rights of one individual end where the rights of another individual begins. This includes the rights of unborn children. This is especially true for those able to survive outside the womb. They certainly don’t have the right to demand others pay for it with their taxes.

      Overturning one provision at a time is all well and good, but how about the GOP focus on the economy first. Getting bogged down in Bill after Bill covering seperate provisions is going to cause inaction on other fronts, and that is the absolute wrong strategy leading into 2012. Why not come up with a list of provisions to be removed, try to get it passed, and move on until you make some progress on jobs and the economy. Don’t make the same mistake the Dems did in spending months on healthcare while the economy continued to spiral down the drain.

      There is plenty of time to repeal and replace the Bill before most provisions are enacted, and full repeal is a definite possibility if you come out of 2012 with more senators and a GOP President! You better do something solid in the coming months to show the economy is the #1 priority, and start creating jobs before election season rolls around.
