(ChurchLeaders) Pro-life evangelicals are not happy that the new White House administration under President Biden has included a change to taxpayer funding of abortions as part of the American Rescue Plan. The broad piece of legislation is likely to pass the House today which will put it on course for Biden to sign it into law later this week.
While many Americans enduring deep financial impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic look forward to the economic relief included in the package, there is much more to the legislation being passed by budget reconciliation. The measure taking aim at removing a statute of limitation for taxpayer dollars going toward abortions is a point of contention and the group Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden are voicing their collective discontent.
