Speaker Ryan: Taxpayers must be protected from funding abortion
In December, at the 11th hour of its tenure, the Obama administration pushed through a rule that effectively forces states to fund abortion services through Planned Parenthood. Today, using the Congressional Review Act, the House will vote to strike down that rule. This legislation fulfills two promises made to the American people: 1.
