Congress and the Administration are already taking action by banning the\u00a0use\u00a0of taxpayer funds for abortion, and reinstating the Mexico City Policy. The March for Life rally will help us continue to build on this momentum as we defend a fundamental human right\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0the right to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, <a href=\"http:\/\/latta.house.gov\/news\/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398329\">Congress passed H.R. 7<\/a>, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act. That legislation codifies and expands the Hyde Amendment, an annual provision in government funding bills that prohibits the use of taxpayer money to perform abortions. Latta supported that bill and also has co-sponsored <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/115\/bills\/hr586\/BILLS-115hr586ih.pdf\">H.R. 586<\/a>, the Sanctity of Human Life Act, which provides personhood status at conception.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these actions, President Trump signed an executive order on Monday reinstating the Mexico City Policy which prohibits taxpayer funding for organizations that support abortion abroad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Submitted information WASHINGTON, D.C.\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0U.S. Representative Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) joined tens of thousands who gathered for the annual March for Life rally Friday in Washington, D.C.
