“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.”
