March for Life Statement on Title X Law

 

“Today we thank President Donald Trump for restoring the state’s right to direct taxpayer dollars away from abortion providers in favor of supporting community health centers that deliver comprehensive women’s care, and already outnumber abortion providers 20 to 1.

We continue to applaud Vice President Mike Pence for casting the tie-breaking Senate vote, and are grateful for the strong female leadership exhibited by Rep. Diane Black and Sen. Joni Ernst in introducing H.J. Res 43 to Congress. We look forward to working with Congress in finding a permanent solution to defund Planned Parenthood, whose clinics perform over 320,000 abortions a year, and in ensuring that our government sides with the majority of Americans who oppose taxpayer funding of abortion.”

March for Life Statement on Supreme Court Confirmation of Neil Gorsuch

 

“The March for Life congratulates Judge Neil Gorsuch on his historic confirmation to the Supreme Court today. We were pleased to support Judge Gorsuch’s nomination, as were our grassroots activists from across America who sent thousands of messages to their Senators in support of his nomination. We thank Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for remaining steadfast throughout this process and President Trump for keeping his promise to the American people in nominating a pro-life Justice to the Supreme Court. November exit polls showed that 1 in 5 Americans prioritized the Supreme Court nomination when casting their vote, and with a majority of 57% of those voters casting a vote for Donald Trump, it is clear that the majority of American voters wanted a strict constructionist.”

Tom McClusky Healthcare Op-ed in Morning Consult

 

March for Life Vice President of Government Affairs, Tom McClusky was published in Morning Consult with an op-ed entitled, “Doing Nothing on Health Care Is Not an Option.”

Congress must persevere. The next attempt at repealing Obamacare needs to continue that pro-life trend, while also seeking consensus on the issues that led to the defeat of the first bill. To be clear, what happened last week was a failure. But with every failure comes an opportunity. True leadership will take that opportunity and run with it, not be defeated by it.

March for Life Praises Senate Title X CRA Vote

 

“Today the Senate voted to restore the freedom of the states to redirect funds away from abortion clinics to other health care providers under the Title X program, a taxpayer-funded program for low-income women. We applaud both the House and Senate, specifically Congressman Diane Black (R-TN) and Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) for leading the efforts, for voting in favor of states’ freedom to choose Title X providers, and in particular we thank the tie-breaker, Vice-President Mike Pence. The Obama Administration rule that trampled on states’ right to choose Title X providers and exclude abortion providers like Planned Parenthood was bad policy.

“A majority of Americans (61 percent) oppose the use of tax dollars to fund abortions. Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in our nation, performing over 320,000 abortions every single year. In the wake of the latest video released yesterday by the Center for Medical Progress showing Planned Parenthood’s lack of respect for the inherent dignity of human life, funds should be redirected away from Planned Parenthood to better serve women and their health care needs. We look forward to working with Congress to reallocate Planned Parenthood funds through the reconciliation process to community health centers which outnumber abortion clinics by 20:1, have better oversight, and provide a full range of health services.”
