Buck Statement on the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion & Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act

Press Release

Today the House of Representatives passed H.R. 7, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, sponsored by Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ). As Heritage analyst Sarah Torre notes, "An ever-encroaching government is trampling on the conscience rights of pro-life Americans, and Obamacare continues to find new ways to send taxpayer money to the abortion industry." H.R. 7 helps prevent this perverse government encroachment. Congressman Buck supported this bill and released the following statement:

"I was proud to vote in favor of H.R. 7 today on the 42nd anniversary of Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, which invented a constitutional right to abortion-on-demand. The passage of the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act signifies our commitment to protecting life and protecting conscience rights of all Americans. It will permanently ensure that taxpayers are not funding abortion or insurance coverage that includes abortion. I am honored to vote in favor of legislation that defends the lives of innocent and defenseless unborn children and aims to reduce the size and scope of the federal government. No American citizen should be forced to choose between honoring their conscience and funding abortion."
