House Committee Moves Against Abortion Lobby in DC
June 18th, 2015The local government of Washington, D.C. is clearly in the hands of radical pro-abortion groups. They passed a new ordinance earlier this year called the “Reproductive Health Nondiscrimination Act”. It would prohibit employers based in the nation’s capital from taking a person’s abortion views into account when hiring.
Pro-Life groups like the American Life League and Family Research Council could be forced into hiring pro-abortion advocates for their staffs.
The House of Representatives moved earlier to override this oppressive move against the conscience rights of pro-Life organizations, but that was blocked by President Obama.
The House Appropriations Committee continues to work to out-maneuver the abortion advocates running the DC government. The committee approved language this past week in the Financial Services Appropriations bill which would block the DC government from using government funds to enforce its “Nondiscrimination Act”. The bill is expected to be approved by the full House of Representatives.
