Senate Panel OKs Bill Funding Abortions in Nation's Capital | LifeNews.com: The Financial Services Subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee passed the FY12 Financial Services funding bill which would essentially scrap the Dornan amendment, a pro-life provision that prevents the nation’s capital from funding abortions at taxpayer expense. The D.C. Hyde amendment, as reinstated in the FY11 spending bill, ensures that no congressionally appropriated funds (federal or local) are used to fund elective abortions in the District of Columbia.
Tomorrow, the full Senate Appropriations Committee will consider legislation and there is no word yet on whether any of the pro-life members of the panel will try to attach language similar to the House provision banning abortion funding.
