Senator Toomey Cosponsors Pro-Life Bill

Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey has signed on as a cosponsor of the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (S. 582).

The bill codifies a permanent, government-wide policy against taxpayer subsidies for abortion and abortion coverage. It also requires health plans offered under the Affordable Care Act to disclose the extent of their coverage for abortion and the amount of any surcharge for that coverage to consumers.

In January, Cardinal O’Malley of Boston praised the House of Representatives’ version of this bill, saying, “The federal government should not use its funding power to support and promote elective abortion, and should not force taxpayers to subsidize this violence. Even public officials who take a ‘pro-choice’ stand, and courts that have insisted on a constitutional ‘right’ to abortion, have agreed that the government has every right (in the Supreme Court’s words) to ‘encourage childbirth over abortion.”
