Reps. Jackson, Roy Introduce Legislation to Prohibit the Department of Defense from Funding Abortion Services

Posted

WASHINGTON — Yesterday, Representatives Ronny Jackson (TX-13) and Chip Roy (TX-21) introduced legislation to prohibit the Department of Defense (DoD) from funding abortion services, specifically including travel expenses.

Jackson said: “The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the horrific Roe v. Wade ruling was a monumental win for human life, but the fight is far from over as Democrats pursue every tool available to enable those who seek to murder the most vulnerable among us. I will continue to be a leader in the pro-life movement by introducing and supporting legislation that will protect innocent babies as there is no greater threat to mankind than the normalization of abortion. The DoD should focus on the growing threats posed by China, Russia, and Iran instead of using military resources to push Democrats’ anti-life agenda. Taxpayer dollars should never be used to fund abortions in any way, shape, or form. With our legislation, Congressman Roy and I will take an important step to put a stop to it.”
