In recent years, Congress has attached special annual
funding provisions called pro-life “riders” to spending
bills, to ensure taxpayers aren’t forced to fund abortions
here and overseas. Now, the Democrat-controlled Congress may
move forward to strip those “riders” from the spending
bills and thereby require taxpayers to fund abortion and
abortion-providing organizations through the federal budget.
The
legislative battle over removing the pro-life “riders” from the
2010 appropriations bills is expected to begin soon.
