Enough that it's a toxic hotbutton in Congress. Hate to break it to you but that so-called "weird and small fringe" has already had several victories. |
The US government has restricted foreign aid funding for abortion services since 1973 (Helms Amendment) The Helms Amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act, sometimes called simply the Helms Amendment,[1] is a 1973 amendment, passed by the U.S. Congress in the wake of the Roe v. Wade decision by the United States Supreme Court, to limit the use of US foreign assistance for abortion.[2][3] Named after North Carolina senator Jesse Helms, the amendment states that "no foreign assistance funds may be used to pay for the performance of abortion as a method of family planning or to motivate or coerce any person to practice abortions."[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helms_Amendment_to_the_Foreign_Assistance_Act |
“OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma House Public Health Committee passed a bill Wednesday that its own author said needs major work before it is brought to a vote before the full House chamber.” “… and he said after hearing committee members concerns on multiple sections, major changes to the bill would need to be made. He said he was open to addressing both Democratic and Republican concerns before the bill reaches the full House chamber next month.” “ The committee said they trusted West would make fixes to his bill between the committee process and the full House chamber vote.” Lmk when any state actually passes a bill that bans birth control. |
