Congressman Alex Mooney (WV-2) Supported Successful Passage of No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act
WASHINGTON, DC – Yesterday Republican Congressman Alex Mooney (WV-2) supported the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act to outlaw federal funds from directly or indirectly funding abortion in the United States. The bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives.
“We are a nation whose values are emulated around the world by people seeking freedom, justice and protection for human rights under the rule of law. That is why I am proud to support this legislation to outlaw federal funding of any abortion.”
“Moreover a clear majority of Americans and West Virginians support a ban on federal dollars for abortions, including for federal insurance coverage of abortions.”
“I pray this legislation will pass and become law for the protection of the most defenseless among us.”
The passage of the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act in the House coincided with the 42nd Anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision.
