Today, the United States House of Representatives voted on H.R. 7 – No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion. The measure passed by a vote of 242 to 179 and now heads to the Senate. Representative Randy Weber (R-Friendswood), a staunch advocate for life, made the following statement:

“Life is sacred, and must be protected at every stage. I voted for this bill, because it will prevent existing and future federal funds from being used for abortion under any federal program, including in health care plans offered under the President’s health care law. The government should not allow taxpayer’s hard-earned money to be used for the destruction of innocent life. It is as simple as that.”
