Boehner: The Life of the Party
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) has shown he’s not afraid to speak up on the issue of life. And this past weekend, he found a friendly audience to listen! On Saturday, Rep. Boehner trekked to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to accept a well-deserved National Right to Life Legislative Leadership Award in recognition of all he’s done in Congress to defend the unborn. He spoke at length about taxpayer-funded abortion and how he and colleague Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) plan to attack it. “One of the many ideas being discussed right now on America Speaking Out is the idea of codifying the Hyde Amendment so that it applies to all federal funding, whether those funds are appropriated by Congress or authorized by Congress… I’m please to announce that Congressman Chris Smith will be introducing legislation to accomplish this goal… It’s time for Washington to stop defying the will of the American people on this critical, common-sense issue.” You can help Congressmen Smith and Boehner make that policy a reality by clicking over to the America Speak Out website and voting in favor of the idea.
