Senator Jim Banks is joined as a cosponsor of S. 250, the Protecting Life in Foreign Assistance Act, to restrict the availability of Federal funds to organizations associated with the abortion industry.
The Act states Federal funds may not be made available for purposes outside of the United States (including its territories and possessions) to any foreign nonprofit organization, foreign nongovernmental organization, foreign multilateral organization, or foreign quasi-autonomous nongovernmental organization that performs or promotes abortions, including providing referrals, counseling, lobbying, and training relating to abortions; furnishes or develops any item intended to procure abortions; or provides financial support to any entity that conducts any of the abortion related activities.
“We applaud Senator Banks’ co-sponsorship of this important legislation and are hopeful Congress moves swiftly to place these restrictions on federal funding of the worldwide abortion industry,” states Indiana Right to Life President and CEO Mike Fichter
