Pro-Life Victory: Congress Rolls Back Obama’s Last Minute Regulation Banning States from Defunding Planned Parenthood
By Jay Sekulow
Yesterday on Capitol Hill, as I was meeting with our nation’s leaders discussing the need to defund Planned Parenthood, the Senate passed a bill that rolls back a last-minute Obama Administration regulation that banned states from defunding the nation’s largest abortion provider.
With Vice President Pence casting the tiebreaking vote, this bill now goes to President Trump’s desk for his signature.
I wrote about this regulation in the final days of the Obama Administration:
As his Administration wanes to its close, President Obama is preparing to implement a new regulation that flies in the face of our Constitution, federalism, and our Founders’ foundational belief that every human life is worthy of inherent dignity because each life is made in the image of God.
The Obama Administration’s Department of Health and Human Services has just issued a final rule that has only one goal – to prohibit states from being able to defund Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers responsible for ending nearly one million vulnerable lives each year.
Nearly 160,000 of you signed our petition and we worked tirelessly on Capitol Hill to roll back this regulation. The House voted to roll it back and now the Senate has as well.
