The House Energy and Commerce Committee is considering<\/a> bills to increase the price of violating two current pro-life federal laws.<\/p>\n

The legislation, sponsored by Republican Congresswomen Marsha Blackburn and Renee Ellmers (pictured), would prohibit any abortion providers found to have violated the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act or\u00a0Born-Alive Infants Protection Act from participating at all in Medicaid, Medicare, or the federal Children’s Health Insurance Program; and empower states to prohibit providers suspected of violating either law from participating in Medicaid.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood says<\/a> that 75% of its $528 million in federal funding comes from Medicaid reimbursements. In light of a series of undercover videos that depict<\/a> Planned Parenthood personnel and their associates discussing apparent\u00a0violations of these laws<\/a>, the share of that money the abortion giant could stand to lose under these proposals may be substantial.<\/p>\n

As Live Action News has previously reported<\/a>, Ellmers earned pro-lifers’ ire early this year when she distanced herself from the proposed 20-week abortion ban on the grounds that its rape exception was too narrow, sidetracking a vote planned to coincide with the annual March for Life. Blackburn was a sponsor<\/a> of the bill, but allegedly backed<\/a> Ellmers’ objection behind the scenes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
