Rep. Chip Roy On Trump's Move To Bar Family Planning Clinics That Provide Abortions From Participating In Federal Family Planning Program

February 22, 2019

Washington, D.C.—Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) released the following statement Friday afternoon regarding the Trump administration's move to bar family planning clinics that provide abortions or abortion referrals from participating in the $286 million federal family planning program:

"Taxpayer dollars should never be used to finance the termination of innocent human life. I would like to thank the Trump administration for showing such a strong commitment to life and for extricating taxpayers from the abortion industry, which is championed by Planned Parenthood.

The defense of innocent human life is one of the most important factors that separates us from murderous, authoritarian regimes. We should embrace life as we embrace all our God-given rights. It is my firm belief that we should promote a culture of life at every opportunity. Period. Life is a precious gift from God and I will always fight to defend the sanctity of life and oppose abortion in any form."
