I am proud to join Senator Roger Wicker and Senator Deb Fischer in introducing the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act,” S. 184. The measure would establish a permanent, government-wide prohibition of taxpayer funding for abortion. Similar policies, such as the Hyde Amendment, currently require annual passage and do not apply to Obamacare. President Trump has stated that he is committed to making the Hyde Amendment permanent.

The legislation also includes my provision requiring all plans offered by Obamacare exchanges disclose whether a plan includes coverage of elective abortion procedures, as well as the abortion surcharge embedded into abortion-covering plans.
