Texas Scorecard by Juliana Berg | August 8, 2022
“In the middle of a recession, this is a gross misuse of tax dollars and, more importantly, it’s morally abhorrent.”Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in June, abortion is now banned in 10 states and partially banned in another four. President Joe Biden signed one executive order aimed at protecting the so-called “right” to an abortion in July, and signed another—aimed at making it easier to travel across state lines to obtain an abortion—on August 3.
Biden’s second executive order directs Medicaid to cover abortion-related costs for women who travel out of state to have an abortion, claiming that it is a necessary part of health care and must be provided to the women who want it.
This means that the federal government will use taxpayer dollars to fund women crossing state lines for abortions.
