Trump signs $1.3 trillion budget bill that still funds Planned Parenthood
Update 3/23/18 at 1:50 p.m.: President Trump has announced he signed the spending bill but said he will “never sign another bill like this again.” The pro-assisted suicide group Compassion & Choices immediately sent supporters an email celebrating the final bill’s exclusion of an amendment to repeal D.C.’s assisted suicide law. The bill that Trump signed does not defund Planned Parenthood.
WASHINGTON, D.C., March 23, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – President Trump’s threat to veto the $1.3 trillion spending bill over its lack of funding for a border wall has a veteran pro-life activist hoping the president will also consider vetoing the legislation as long as it gives money to Planned Parenthood.
The $1.3 trillion omnibus bill, which will continue to fund the government through the fiscal year, doesn’t stop Planned Parenthood from receiving taxpayer dollars. The abortion company receives nearly half a billion dollars from the government annually.
