Enzi-Coburn Letter on Abortion Funding in High-Risk Pools
Wanted to draw your attention to a letter signed by Sens. Enzi, Coburn, and 9 other Republican Senators regarding federal funding for abortions in the new high-risk pools established under the health care law. The letter follows the release of a Congressional Research Service report indicating that neither current law (Hyde Amendment), nor the health care law, nor the Executive Order signed by the President, nor HHS’ contract solicitation for the high-risk pool program specifically prevent federal funds from being used to finance abortion coverage in state high-risk pools.
