112 Members of Congress Ask for Investigation into Federal Funding Awarded to Abortion Providers

Katherine Hamilton 27 Nov 2024

Members of Congress have requested an investigation into the amount of taxpayer dollars awarded to abortion providers within the past three years.

The lawmakers sent a letter Friday asking the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to investigate and report on the amount of federal funding that has been awarded to abortion providers — including the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the International Planned Parenthood Federation. The letter was led by House Pro-Life Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-AL), and Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY).

“We are writing to request updated information on federal funding for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), Planned Parenthood Federation of America, International Planned Parenthood Federation, MSI Reproductive Choices, and four domestic abortion providers,” they wrote. “The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has prepared several congressionally requested reports on federal funds for these organizations. We are grateful for the past products and respectfully request that the GAO provide a similar report covering fiscal years 2022-2024.”

A 2023 GAO report notably found that from 2019-2021, $1.89 billion in federal funding went to abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood Federation of America and MSI Reproductive Choices.

Seems like that would be a sizeable amount to cut. These establishments can self fund.

Bad enough they get paid by medicaid -- at least I think they do--but to be just handed our money to promote their murderous agenda is too much.

Now I have a reason for a religious objection to paying taxes.
