WASHINGTON — House GOP leaders told abortion foes Monday they would continue efforts to ensure no federal funds are spent on the procedure.
“We are heeding the voice of the people, who overwhelmingly oppose taxpayer funding of abortion,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in at the 39th annual March for Life in Washington.
Already, the federal government blocks direct funding of abortions through Medicaid and other federal programs through the so-called Hyde Amendment, which faces periodic renewal.
