Happening in TN Permanent Abortion Funding Ban; "Protect Life
Act" Introduced in Congress On July 30, Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Congressman Dan Lipinski (D-Il.) introduced a new bill that would permanently bar subsidies for abortion in all federal programs. The measure, titled the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act" (H.R. 5939), is strongly backed by NRLC. "For decades, a patchwork of short-term policies have prevented abortion funding in many programs authorized by Congress, but it is time for a single, government-wide permanent protection against taxpayer funding for elective abortion," Smith said. Long-established federal programs, such as Medicaid, currently do not pay for elective abortion, thanks to a patchwork of pro-life policies put in place over a period of decades. Many of these policies are imposed by provisions of annual appropriations bills that require annual renewal, the best known of these being the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits funding of abortion with money from the annual Health and Human Services appropriations bill. Patricia Neal: RIP NRLC’s,
Today’s News & Views, August 6, 2010. By now probably most of you know that Oscar Award winning actress Patricia Neal died yesterday reportedly of lung cancer. I am old enough to remember many of her films, some of which are genuine classics. My own favorites occupy the two ends of the spectrum: The Day the Earth Stayed Still, and Hud, the film for which she won her Oscar. Ms. Neal's death at age 84 is of particular relevance to us because of the abortion she had as a young actress. In a life filled with tragedies--including a child who suffered major brain injuries, another child who died from measles, and three devastating strokes--she never forgot the abortion.
