Jim Jordan, Mike Lee blast GOP for funding Planned Parenthood; pro-life leaders demand veto

WASHINGTON, D.C., September 26, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The GOP-controlled Congress is poised to pass yet another spending bill that continues to send tax dollars to the abortion industry, with at least two Republican lawmakers decrying the bill and a handful of pro-life leaders calling on President Donald Trump to veto it.

CNN reports that Congress has until September 30 to pass the latest appropriations package, dubbed a “minibus,” that funds the military, the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Labor, and disaster relief for Hurricane Florence. Other government operations will be covered by a short-term continuing resolution until December 7.

The final version passed the U.S. Senate last week and is expected to clear the U.S. House of Representatives this week. Outgoing Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and other Republicans on Capitol Hill present the bill as a necessary measure to avoid a government shutdown. Several Congressmen, including Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, have expressed frustration that it fails to meet conservative budget priorities such as funding a border wall and defunding Planned Parenthood.
