In a Knights of Columbus–Marist poll in January, 60 percent of Americans said they opposed taxpayer funding of abortion. For years, polling data have shown a clear and consistent majority of Americans supporting restrictions on taxpayer funding.
When Congress spends federal funds for abortion, it can’t shrug off responsibility and say that it’s a state issue. Congress is responsible for what happens with federal dollars, regardless of what citizens want to do with state dollars. And when Congress spends federal funds, it’s responsible for the impact that funding has on real people, including women coerced into abortion.
