Micaiah Bilger – November 19, 2021<\/p>\n

U.S. Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey criticized Democrats on Thursday for trying to force taxpayers to pay for the killing of unborn babies in abortions through a massive spending bill.<\/p>\n

Democrats\u2019 $2 trillion \u201cBuild Back Better\u201d bill,\u00a0which passed the U.S. House on Friday<\/a>, does not include any of the long-standing bans on taxpayer-funded abortions. If it passes the U.S. Senate, Americans could be forced to pay for the killing of unborn babies in elective abortions both in the United States and in other countries.<\/p>\n

Smith, a leading pro-life voice in Congress, said it\u2019s shocking that Democrats removed the Hyde Amendment and other measures that protect American taxpayers and unborn babies.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is time, I believe, for more of us to face the harsh reality of what abortion does to children and look beyond the sound bites and slogans,\u201d Smith said. \u201cNo one in the media ever bothers to expose the violent methods of abortion that include dismemberment of a child\u2019s fragile body, including decapitation, and that drugs like RU-486 starve the baby to death.\u201d<\/p>\n

He urged lawmakers to restore the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer funding for abortions in Medicaid and other federal programs, as well as the Helms Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer funding for abortions in other countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaxpayers should not be forced to subsidize or facilitate the killing of an unborn child,\u201d Smith said, pointing to recent polls showing strong public opposition to taxpayer-funded abortions.<\/p>\n

The massive spending bill mandates abortion coverage in the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, and includes a number of other funding measures that could pay for abortions, Smith continued.<\/p>\n
