2020 NE Senatorial race: on Abortion


Ben Sasse: Stop taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood

Stop forced taxpayer funding of abortion: When President Obama was selling ObamaCare in 2009, one of the many false promises he made was that taxpayers would not be forced to pay for abortions under the law. But now, for the first time in American history, Uncle Sam is in the abortion business. The law contains a loophole that is forcing taxpayers to pay for ending innocent life. The law must be fully repealed, but in the meantime, that loophole must be closed.

Stop government donations to Planned Parenthood: As the largest abortion provider in America, Planned Parenthood receives over $300 million dollars per year in federal funding. It is wrong that people of faith should be required to subsidize the killing of unborn children by Planned Parenthood. At a time when our national debt surpasses $17 trillion, the federal government has no business giving handouts to the abortion industry.
