Daines slams Biden
News from the Office of Senator Daines
U.S. SENATE — U.S. Senator Steve Daines released a statement in response to the Biden Administration’s efforts to direct taxpayer dollars to the abortion industry.
“Abortion is not family planning; it is family destruction. President Biden’s actions are an attempt to provide a taxpayer funded giveaway to Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry. This defies the law and tramples over the consciences of healthcare providers and the American taxpayers,” Daines said.
The Biden Administration’s proposed rule would:
— Allow taxpayer-funded Title X programs to support and promote abortion.
— Provide tens of millions of dollars in funding to Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry each year.
— Force providers, including faith-based providers, to refer for abortion in a blatant violation of the Weldon Amendment.
