Carter Statement on President Trump's Decision to Restore the Mexico City Policy
Washington,
January 23, 2017
Congressman Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (GA-01) released the following statement supporting President Donald J. Trump's decision to restore the Mexico City Policy which prohibits taxpayer funds to non-governmental organizations in foreign countries that provide or promote abortions:
"President Trump has wasted no time joining us in the fight to ensure American taxpayers are never responsible to foot the bill for ending a precious life before it begins. While it's unacceptable to use taxpayer funds for abortions in the United States, it is absolutely senseless to allow taxpayer dollars to be used on abortions abroad. "The president's action to reinstate the Mexico City Policy today is a strong step to support the right to life and I look forward to working with him to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves." |
