Dold Offers Amendments to Protect Title X Funding and Prohibit Sale of Fetal Tissue

Statement

U.S. Congressman Robert Dold (IL-10) has offered two targeted amendments designed to protect women's access to healthcare and prohibit the controversial sale of human fetal tissue.

"I am firmly committed to protecting Title X services offered by women's healthcare clinics. I do not support cutting access to basic health services for women, but as even Secretary Clinton has said, the undercover videos are disturbing and demand action," Rep. Dold said. "I came to Washington to offer real, independent solutions to our nation's most difficult problems, which is why I've introduced amendments that would actually stop the abhorrent practice of selling fetal tissue. These amendments address this important issue in a thoughtful way without jeopardizing healthcare services that women across our country rely on."
