Sessions Pushes Bill to Halt Taxpayer Funding for Abortion

Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. - U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX) Chairman of the House Rules Committee today released the following statement regarding House passage of H.R. 7 the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act:

For decades Members on both sides of the aisle have supported the Hyde Amendment a critical measure that prevents any federal funding of abortions. I firmly believe that it is morally wrong to use any hard earned taxpayer dollars to fund abortion. While the Hyde Amendment has been renewed for the past 41 years I believe it is time for this life-saving amendment to become permanent law. I proudly voted for this important bill to reinforce my unwavering commitment to this long-held policy.
