The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act bill was introduce by Dan Lipinski and a politician that represents which congressional district?
No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act ( ) is a bill that was introduced to the 112th Congress of the United States in the House of Representatives by Rep. Chris Smith (R-New Jersey) and Dan Lipinski (D-Illinois). Although the bill is a bipartisan effort, most of the 173 co-sponsors are Republicans. The bill's stated purpose is "[t]o prohibit taxpayer funded abortions and to provide for conscience protections, and for other purposes." In large measure, it would render permanent the restrictions on federal funding of abortion in the United States laid out in the Hyde Amendment. The bill passed the House on May 4, 2011 by a vote of 251-175; however, because it is not expected to pass the Senate and may not even come up for a vote, the measure is largely a symbolic one. Still, the committees assigned to this bill sent it to the House for consideration on January 15, 2014 after hearings were held.
