🧵This evening the Energy & Commerce Committee is marking up the $3.5 trillion dollar reconciliation bill that includes massive expansions for health funding that would force taxpayers to fund abortions

Thankfully, @HouseCommerce Republicans are fighting back:

1/
"Abortion is inhumane… My challenge is for us to be warriors of human dignity. I urge my colleagues to join me & save the Hyde Amendment."

@cathymcmorris shares how the Dem bill will force those buying the proposed plans to pay for coverage that includes abortion on demand.

2/
.@RepBuddyCarter offers a passionate defense of the Hyde Amendment which protects the lives of living human babies. He shares how abortion is a human rights abuse and should not be subsidized by taxpayers

#HydeSavesLives

3/
Whip @SteveScalise reminds his Dem colleagues that for decades in the Senate, Joe Biden used to be deeply committed to the principle that no one should be forced to pay for abortion.

The pro-abortion extremism of today's Democratic party is a recent phenomenon

4/
"While I'm personally pro-life, we are not debating the issue of abortion here - all we're saying is that taxpayers should not have to pay for it." - @DrNealDunnFL2

#HydeSavesLives

5/
"The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government." - Thomas Jefferson

@RepJohnJoyce points out this principle is precisely why we need Hyde protections in the spending bill #HydeSavesLives

6/
"You knit me together in my mother’s womb..."

Rep. @RepWalberg quotes Psalm 139 as he shares why Americans who believe in the sanctity of life should never be forced to pay to end the precious lives of unborn children

7/
.@USRepGaryPalmer honors the moms who make tough decisions when facing a difficult pregnancy and the families who keep children with unexpected diagnoses like Down syndrome

8/
.@RepGusBilirakis shares about his close friends who are abortion survivors, and whose lives are no less valuable than any others. He asks his Dem colleagues: After decades of agreement that no one should be forced to pay for abortion, what has changed?

9/
.@RepDLesko shares the science of the humanity of unborn children at every stage of fetal development, concluding: We shouldn't be forced to financially support their destruction. #FollowTheScience

10/
Excellent point by @RepDanCrenshaw: In any difficult or unplanned pregnancy, there are hard choices to make and many things to factor in - but the reality that the baby is ALIVE has to be the most important factor

11/
.@RepJeffDuncan shares from the many hardworking taxpayers he represents in #SC03 who don't want the government confiscating their hard-earned money to pay for abortion

12/
Vote on Rep. @cathymcmorris' amendment applying Hyde protections to the ACA portion of the spending bill fails on a party line vote.

Every single Democrat member of the Energy & Commerce Committee voted to force taxpayers to pay for abortions.

13/13

🧵 Biden DOJ reportedly planning to sue Texas over its law protecting unborn babies with a beating heart, and is considering using federal facilities in Texas to commit abortions and potentially stripping the state of federal funding

Our statement: sba-list.org/newsroom/press…

1/6
The Texas Heartbeat Act is a democratic response to fifty years of Supreme Court interference in states’ legitimate interest in protecting life and their right to debate and pass laws reflecting their people’s values.

2/6
However Biden, Pelosi and their radical allies want to permanently stifle a debate that considers scientific breakthroughs made in the almost 50 years since Roe, and instead impose abortion on demand up until the moment of birth, paid for by taxpayers.

Women in Texas and across the nation are leading the fight to modernize our outdated abortion laws

Special shout out to the 11 pro-life women state legislators who co-authored The Heartbeat Act, Texas #SB8, protecting unborn babies with a beating heart 💓 Image
Meet the women behind the Texas Heartbeat Act. They come from all walks of life, but they share a dedication to the people of Texas, particularly women and their unborn children:
2/13
State rep @ShelbySlawson authored the House version of the bill. She is an attorney and a first-generation college graduate. The Texas Heartbeat Act is just one of the measures she has championed to foster and protect her local community.

🧵Six years ago @daviddaleiden released his first video showing Planned Parenthood officials laughing as they shared how they make extra $$ by selling body parts of aborted babies.

But six years later, the trade in baby body parts continues 1/15
In 2019 alone, @NIH awarded $109 MILLION in taxpayer funds for extramural grants to 135 researchers at 68 academic orgs for experiments using fetal organs including eyes, brains, urinary tract tissue, intestines, hearts, gonads, livers, and thymuses from aborted babies 2/15
Those who support harvesting baby body parts for experiments claim the research shows lifesaving results. However this is a a fiction put forth to justify the grotesque practice. 3/15

.@RepDanCrenshaw asks @SecBecerra a simple yes or no question: Do you recognize the statute that outlaws partial-birth abortions?

Yet again, Becerra refuses to recognize the law, instead saying he would protect a "woman’s right to choose"

Read the law: law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18…
In a partial-birth abortion the child is delivered into the birth canal up to its shoulders and then killed through vacuuming out its brain and crushing its skull.

More: nrlc.org/abortion/pba/i…

Illustration courtesy of @nrlc
Partial-Birth Abortion was developed as a response to the “dreaded complication” of a VIABLE child born alive during an abortion

Partial-Birth Abortion, usually performed in the 20-26 week range (the fifth and sixth months), was designed to ENSURE the living child was killed

.@RepGusBilirakis: Will you uphold the law banning Partial-Birth Abortions?

@SecBecerra: There is no such law…

Stop lying.

The law passed & Supreme Court upheld it.

This law bans killing a child when it is already partially born.

You voted AGAINST this law.

Shame on you.
Becerra claimed: "There is no law that deals specifically with the term Partial-Birth Abortion."

But that’s exactly what U.S. Code § 1531 does:

Thank you @RepGusBilirakis for holding HHS Secretary Becerra - the top health official in the nation - accountable for upholding our nation's laws protecting the most vulnerable among us: unborn children
