SENATE PASSES BAN ON TAXPAYER ABORTION FUNDING
In a huge victory for pro-life Americans, the Senate voted for a budget amendment to its multi-trillion spending bill that bans taxpayer-funding of abortions for any federal funds authorized under the bill.
Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma introduced a resolution amendment that protects against taxpayer funding of abortion. His amendment to prohibit the use of taxpayer dollars for funding of abortions and abortion-related discrimination was successfully adopted by a vote of 50-49 to the Democrats’ partisan budget resolution…
The senator pointed to a 2020 Marist poll found that 60 percent of Americans, including 37 percent of people who identify as pro-choice, oppose the use of taxpayer dollars to pay for abortion. Earlier this year, Lankford introduced a similar amendment to the Fiscal Year 2021 Budget Reconciliation bill to ensure health-related funding was compliant with the Hyde amendment. The amendment failed and Lankford voted against the reconciliation bill in part because it would fund abortion for the first time since 1976.
Lankford’s amendment is supported by March for Life Action, National Right to Life, Family Research Council, US Conference of Catholic Bishops, Susan B. Anthony List, Heritage Action, Concerned Women for America LAC, Family Policy Alliance and Students for Life Action.
Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Denise Burke applauded the Senate for adopting the pro-life amendment…
“American taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to fund abortions or to subsidize the dangerous work of abortionists. In the wake of the House of Representatives’ recent rejection of the Hyde and Weldon amendments, we are especially pleased to see the Senate vote in favor of bipartisan policies that support women and protect human life. We commend Sens. Lankford, Daines, and Blunt for taking a stand for life by introducing this important amendment and for the senators who joined them by voting in favor of it,” Burke added…

Despite being imprisoned, Paul and Silas prayed and sang hymns. At midnight there was a strong earthquake, the doors flew open and the prisoner’s chains came loose. When the jailer awoke he was going to kill himself. If the prisoners escaped he would be killed as punishment for their escape. Paul called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself! We are all here!” My point, it doesn’t matter what we are up against, we MUST continue to praise and pray. The moment I read this, I remembered this occurrence and the hymn above ran through my mind. “Every innocent life deserves to be protected.” Period!
Thank you Father for this victory. I praise Your Awesome Name, I praise the Awesome Name of Jesus and I praise You Holy Spirit. I also pray MORE victories for the babies: without number, tumbling down from Heaven upon us all. Amen
