WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Mike Conaway (TX-11) on Friday led 38 cosponsors in introducing the Protecting Life in Crisis Act. This legislation prohibits federal COVID-19 response funds from going towards abortions or abortion coverage by extending existing Hyde Amendment protections to any COVID-19-related healthcare provisions. The bill also prevents federal tax credits from being used to cover any post-employment healthcare (COBRA) premiums that include abortion coverage.
“As our nation begins the road to recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, we must remain vigilant to protect the most vulnerable among us,” said Congressman Conaway. “Unfortunately, abortion activists view the COVID-19 crisis as an opportunity to undermine right-to-life protections in the Hyde Amendment. This legislation protects innocent, unborn children by ensuring that the right-to-life is a fundamental component of any federal COVID-19-related healthcare measures.”
Comments
Are there any people in Congress who are advocating for this? The article only said abortion activists. Until a list of people who are in the government, and have the power to do this, abortion activists means nothing.

PermalinkMore posturing from the outgoing congressman. Abortions don't have a political party. Republicans, independents, and even the libertarians get them. Pretty sure they don't ask party affiliation at sign in.

Pretty sure no one asked the children what they wanted...

...And no one asked us if we wanted to pay for this with funds meant to be used for an emergency situation.

PermalinkIn the eighties I was present at the discovery of a full term baby that was found in a dumpster here in San Angelo. No one ever came forward or was charged. The Baby was buried at a local cemetery as an unknown. There were witnesses that saw a motor cycle and a car meet early in the morning where the baby was discovered. That tells me that it was local. It could have been a rich person or poor person. It could have been a liberal or a conservative. I am sure there were plenty of excuses why this baby shouldn't have lived I just can't think of one that is justifiable.
The man who discovered the baby called me over to verify what he had found. I have inquired about this incident over the years but with no interest. I would hope that I would have opted to take charge of an unwanted child if given the opportunity versus the outcome that occurred. I will never know. It has bothered me greatly over the years. I moved back to San Angelo and it brought the memories back. I tried to find where the baby was buried only to learn that unknown graves are made available to those who pay. I couldn't even pay my respects. After all is said and done the only person who did not have a voice was the baby. I can only hope that the concern for human life will become as important as the arguments for and against.
