Senate Democrats have proposed a plan to pay liberal groups $1.75 billion in federal tax funds so women may be trafficked across state lines for abortions.
The “Reproductive Health Travel Fund Act”, proposed by Sens. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., and Patty Murray, D-Wash., provides $350 million a year over five years in federal grants to liberal organizations to traffick women across state lines to get abortions that are illegal in their states, after the United States Supreme Court ruled this year that abortion was not a constitutional right.
Even after the ruling, states like Texas and Florida have abortion laws more permissive than many European countries.
It is currently a violation of federal law to provide tax dollars for abortion. The scheme does not pay for the procedure itself but pays for travel, meals, lodging, post-abortion medical care, foreign language translation services and, ironically, child care.
The scheme is co-sponsored by Senators Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Tina Smith, D-Minn., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii. Another version of the bill was introduced in the U.S. House in July.
It is also backed by the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice, Power to Decide, National Network of Abortion Funds, Physicians for Reproductive Health, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, National Partnership for Women and Families, NARAL, Center for Reproductive Rights, National Women's Law Center, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association, Catholics for Choice, the National Council of Jewish Women, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin and WMF Wisconsin.
It is one of several schemes by congressional Democrats to use federal tax dollars to evade state laws on abortions.
One proposed plan turns military bases, which are not under the jurisdiction of state law, into federally-run abortion clinics. Along those lines, the Biden Defense Department announced they would give paid time off to service members seeking abortions.
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren has even proposed turning national parks into “abortion camps,” with abortions performed in the woods in tents.

NOOOOOO!!!!!!
“We have the right as individuals, to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money.” ~ Davy Crockett
Why do democrats want the tax payers to pay for their sex life? ABORTIONS ARE NOT covered under MEDICAL INSURANCE, democrats too CHEAP TO BUY ANYBIRTH CONTRO?L ABORTIONS ARE CONSIDERED MEDICAL MURDER.
BIDEN AND HIS ADMINISTRATION LIVING HIGH OFF THE HOG WHILE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY IS IN CRISIS MODE, PRIVATE JET USE FOR ALL ON HIS TEAM OF MISFITS, UNLIMITED EXPENSE ACCOUNTS, AND SUPER HIGH SLARIES,OF COURSE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY IS FACED WITH SHORTAGES, HIGH PRICES, AND ENERGY COST AND THER ARE THOSE IN THE FOOD BANKS WHO CRY WE HAVE NO FOOD TO GIVE OUT TO THE POOR. NOW THE GREAT BIDEN BATTERY AUTO INDUSTRY CAN’T LAY OFF THEIR EMPOLYESS FASTER ENOUGH BIDENECONOMOCS
So the democrats think it’s alright to just use taxpayer money to transport women from state to state to get abortions. I would venture a guess that at least half the population, at least the half that’s working and paying taxes, is against that type action.
That’s certainly not Constitutional.
BLOOD AVENGERS!
Just think: Had the constitutional framers (like their 1600s predecessors) established government and society upon the Bible’s moral law (including Exodus 20:13, 21:22-23, Deuteronomy 27:25, etc.), no one would have heard of Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood wouldn’t exist, and millions of infants slaughtered in their mothers’ wombs would have lived to see the light of day.
Instate just the law of the blood avenger and there would be very few if any doctors willing to commit in utero infanticide, regardless how much they were paid to do so.
For more on how the Bible’s immutable/unchanging moral law (the Ten Commandments and their respective statutes and civil judgments) applies and should be implemented today as the law of the land) see free online book “Law and Kingdom: Their Relevance Under the New Covenant” at Bible versus Constitution dot org.

Planned Parenthood needs to change. Instead of killing by abortion these clinics need to be performing hysterectomy’s. That is planned parenthood. No chance of getting pregnant ~ ever.
