The Biden administration is fast becoming the most pro-abortion administration in history. Its advisors targeted the charitable work of pro-life agencies in cases like NIFLA v. Becerra. Now, Biden is proposing massive increases in abortion funding in the United States and around the world.
Biden has selected key advisors who are hostile to the work of pro-life pregnancy centers. These charitable agencies save thousands of lives by providing abortion alternatives that empower mothers to choose life. The Charlotte Lozier Institute reports that in 2019, pro-life pregnancy centers supplied more than $231 million in free support and services to women considering abortion. All such services are paid for through gifts from individuals – not government funds.
Who would oppose the good work of such agencies? Vice President Kamala Harris and HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra do.
Harris, as a Senator from California, and Becerra, as California’s attorney general, teamed up in 2015 to mandate that pro-life pregnancy centers must promote abortion on the walls of their waiting areas. Failure of any California center to comply with this mandate would have resulted in fines and levies. Over time, such penalties would have forced these nonprofits to close their doors. Ultimately, their efforts were defeated in the landmark Supreme Court decision of NIFLA v. Becerra.
The Biden administration is full of abortion zealots with similar track records. Now, they are pushing for increased abortion funding. For the first time in over four decades, the president’s federal budget proposal calls for direct taxpayer funding of elective abortions. It eliminates the longstanding Hyde Amendment, which has saved some 2.4 million children’s lives by stipulating that Medicaid cannot pay for abortions. Even Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, both abortion supporters, allowed the Hyde Amendment to remain in the federal budget.
The Biden plan also removes other federal provisions that prohibit funding abortion, such as the Smith Amendment, which eliminates abortion funding from the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program; the Dornan Amendment, which applies the Hyde Amendment to the District of Columbia; and the Helms Amendment, which prohibits funding abortion overseas.
The plan removes protection for those who object in conscience to funding abortion, along with provisions for those who wish to withdraw U.S. support for coercive population control. When President Biden served in the Senate, he supported the Hyde Amendment. During the 2020 election, he reversed this position to appease his party and its radical, far-left base.
It is an economic fact that the more the government funds a program, the more we will see of the activity funded. Further, once a government program is funded, it is nearly impossible to end. As Ronald Reagan once famously said, a government program "is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth.”
Abortion has been dramatically reduced over the last twenty-five years thanks to the withdrawal of government funding and the national work of pro-life pregnancy centers. If Biden has his way, abortions will increase. Is this what America really wants?
Abortion is not just a legal and political issue. This year, NIFLA will welcome Evangelist Alveda King as the keynote speaker during its 2021 National Leadership Summit. As Dr. King has observed, abortion is the civil rights issue of our day. It is certainly a moral issue of the most profound nature and a foundational question facing America. What value do we place on the lives of those deemed inconvenient and expendable?
In October, the Supreme Court of the United States will be confronted with the constitutionality of its tragic Roe v. Wade decision. Many experts expect that the high court’s ruling in the Mississippi case will cut the heart out of Roe and possibly reverse it.
If Roe is dealt a mortal blow, what will be the response of America? That question and more will be discussed at a gathering of pro-life leaders during this month’s legal summit sponsored by the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates – victor in the landmark NIFLA SCOTUS decision. National leaders will consider how, in a post-Roe America, we must provide support for mothers considering abortion while protecting the unborn.
What will be our response to the cultural eruption to come in the aftermath of Roe? We know the Biden administration will react with more abortion funding in an attempt to promote more abortions. With advisors that oppress agencies offering abortion alternatives and unprecedented increases in government funding for abortion, Joe Biden has become the Babe Ruth of pro-abortion presidents.
RE: Joe Biden Is the Most Pro-Abortion President in History
And Nancy Pelosi is the most pro-abortion Speaker in US History.
Yet, the Catholic Bishops are still considering whether or not to withhold communion from these self-proclaimed “Devout Catholics”
Joe Biden is a shell of a human being.
Someone else is the most pro abortion person.
“Yet, the Catholic Bishops..”
I am starting to believe that these people are just as phony as ‘Pseudo Prez Biden.
‘They’ have converted me. I am for abortion.
For ALL DEMOCRATS/LEFTISTS. (The trannies and gays are doing a fine job to themselves.)
Biden is a nothing burger. Actually, that’s an insult to the nothing burger. We have no President. We’re floundering about. Alone on an island.
Most pedos who prey on little girls are.
If they get the girl pregnant they get them abortions.
Well, no wonder he got the most votes of any other Presidential candidate in the history of the United States.
People are either for the killing of innocents no matter how small or they are not.
The degree to which they are for it is completely irrelevant.
Indeed, Biden and Pelosi are the modern day incarnations of Ba’al (Moloch) and Anath, to whom their devotees will offer up their own children for self-gratification and personal advancement ... look how much humanity has improved in the last few thousand years.
Yet, his mama wasn’t.
Sexually incontinent men are among abortion’s staunchest supporters.
And Obama’s only known “accomplishment” as an Illinois state politician was introducing a bill to legalize murdering unwanted babies AFTER birth.
Geezer is Catholic in name only. One of a large herd of fake Catholics who claim to be Catholic but have leanings that are incompatible with Catholicism.
True Catholics like Clarence Thomas are ripped to shreds.

1960s antiwar protest sign:
LBJ—
Pull Out
Like Your Father Should Have.
That was in the days before The Left turned Vietnam into "Nixon's War", nobody even associates LBJ with Vietnam anymore, he's known for "The Great Society" and the "Civil Rights Bill", while Nixon is stuck with "Vietnam". I hate the Left!
True.
The Left can run from the truth thanks to academics and media propagandists, but they can’t hide from it.
Biden and Pelosi have proven they’re a wrecking crew of all that’s good.....that puts them in the lane of the Godless and puppets of the enemy of mens souls.
And with the blessing of anti-Catholic Pope Frankie and and countless anti-Catholic prelates and “grunt priests” around the world. Thank God for the Latin Mass communities like the SSPX!
