Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) reintroduced legislation to stop federal funds from flowing to universities that push abortion pills to students.
Congressman Roy said, “The American people should not be forced to fund the destruction of innocent life through DIY abortions with their hard-earned tax money to begin with. We especially should not be funding colleges that dole these dangerous pills out to students to use in their dorms without medical supervision.
The abortion industry doesn’t care about patients; it cares about profits. We need to push back hard against their radical push for abortion anywhere, at any time for any reason, and doing that starts here with the Protecting Lives on College Campuses Act.”
This bill is cosponsored by Reps. Randy Feenstra (IA-4), Daniel Webster (FL-11), Warren Davidson (OH-8), Ben Cline (VA-6), Mike Bost (IL-12), Clay Higgins (LA-3), Richard Hudson (NC-9), John Moolenaar (MI-2), Dan Crenshaw (TX-2), Randy Weber (TX-14), Andy Harris (MD-1), Michael Guest (MS-3), Robert Aderholt (AL-4), Andy Ogles (TN-5), Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), Chuck Fleischmann (TN-3), Mary Miller (IL-15), Paul Gosar (AZ-9), Troy Downing (MT-2), Brandon Gill (TX-26), and Barry Moore (AL-1).
This bill is also supported by the National Pro-Life Alliance, Students for Life Action, March for Life Action, Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee, Family Policy Alliance, Citizens for Renewing America, American Principles Project, Susan B. Anthony, Americans United for Life, Ethics & Public Policy Center, and Heritage Action.
Terry Schilling, the President of the American Principles Project said: “I want to thank Congressman Chip Roy for introducing this important legislation and taking a principled stand for life and for the family. Let’s be clear: taxpayer dollars should never be going toward the Left’s anti-life, anti-family agenda. We encourage all Republicans to support this effort and do whatever it takes to make it law.”
Wade Miller, Executive Director with Citizens for Renewing America said: “The American taxpayer should not be forced to subsidize institutions of higher education that promote and facilitate the ending of innocent human life. Thankfully, Rep. Chip Roy continues to lead from the front by advancing pro-life policies with bills like this, which are designed to mitigate the ongoing abuse and misuse of our tax dollars.”
