Westerman Votes to Halt Taxpayer-Funded Abortions

January 24, 2017

WASHINGTON – Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-04) issued the following statement Tuesday (January 24) upon passage of H.R. 7, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Disclosure Act of 2017:

"The American people spoke with a loud voice in November and said they are tired of business as usual," Westerman said. "Not only are they tired of an overreaching federal bureaucracy, but they are tired of their hard-earned tax dollars funding abortions. Today, I joined my colleagues in the House and voted to end this practice. Each life is precious and I will continue to fight for the health of women and the lives of the unborn."
