Repeal the Abortion Mandate or Risk Losing Important Federal Funds

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. LaMALFA. Madam Speaker, last month, Health and Human Services issued a notice of violation to my home State of California that is in direct violation of the Weldon amendment, by requiring all health insurers to cover abortions in their plans.

Governor Newsom has 11 days left to comply with Federal law by repealing the abortion mandate or risk losing important Federal funds.

In the shadow of the 47th anniversary of Rowe v. Wade, it is important that we buck the status quo that increasingly takes human life for granted. While Governor Newsom continues to blatantly disregard people's personal and religious views, I will continue to stand here as part of the fight to make sure Americans are never forced to pay for other people's abortions.

Madam Speaker, I urge Governor Newsom to quickly repeal California's abortion mandate and get back in line with the rule of law.
