Last week, House Democrats introduced a bill that would require your tax dollars and mine be used to pay for abortions around the entire world. Republicans objected and proposed an amendment that would prevent our money from being used to fund forced abortions in China's genocide against its Christian, Muslim, and Falun Gong minorities. Democrats voted down the amendment. Republicans then proposed an amendment that would maintain our “Mexico City policy,” which prevents tax dollars from being used to fund abortions when in conflict with the laws of the foreign government in question. Democrats voted it down.
