NATIONAL RIGHT TO LIFE ON HOUSE PASSAGE OF THE BIPARTISAN BUDGET DEAL

 

WASHINGTON --The following statement can be attributed to Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee:

 

National Right to Life praises President Donald Trump and Republican congressional leadership for their work in the House passage of the bipartisan two-year budget and debt-ceiling deal. We thank the leadership for insisting that pro-life policy rollbacks are not open for negotiation.

 

We thank House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise along with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Majority Whip John Thune for their hard work.

 

Rolling back pro-life policies, such as the Hyde Amendment, would be a step backward in protecting women and their unborn children. We thank President Trump and Republican leaders for making it clear that these pro-life policies are not open for compromise.
