Carter Supports Ban on Federal Funding for Abortion
Washington,
January 24, 2017
Congressman Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (GA-01) released the following statement today after the United States House of Representatives passed H.R. 7 with Carter's support to permanently ban all federal funding for abortions:
"As a lifelong health care provider, father, grandfather and Congressman, I believe life starts at conception and that American taxpayers should never be responsible to foot the bill for abortions. Unfortunately, even with measures including the Hyde amendment in place to protect against taxpayer dollars being used to fund abortion coverage, families across America who share my convictions still end up paying for abortion services, possibly without their knowledge. That is why H.R. 7 is so important. This legislation ensures the ban on federal funding for abortion is permanent and government wide and I am proud to support it." |
