No Matter What Pro-abortionists Say, this is what the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortions Act” Means

Leave a comment

By Dave Andrusko It only seems right. As long as the “mainstream media” keeps lamenting/bashing/caricaturing H.R.3—the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortions Act”—we will keep trying to clear away the rhetorical underbrush. Yesterday’s New York Times editorial, “New Attacks on Women’s Rights,” is typical. H.R. 3 really isn’t what its authors say it’s is—cutting off the …

I was reminded of this perennial question by a column that appears in …
