Rep. Huizenga introduces bill to prevent Homeland Security tax dollars from paying for abortions

U.S. Representative Bill Huizenga has introduced the Homeland Security Respect for Life Act.  The goal of the legislation is prevent tax dollars allocated to the Department of Homeland Security from being used to pay for or facilitate abortions.

The bill, entitled the "Homeland Security Respect for Life Act," would stipulate the department cannot pay for abortions, save a few exceptions, nor could it compel department personnel to help perform "or in any way facilitate" the procedure......

"Basically we're saying if someone were to be detained, and were pregnant while being detained, asked for an abortion, we're asking that taxpayers dollars not be used to fund an abortion," Patrick said. "The loophole currently allows for that, and we're acting to close the loophole."
