Feb 14, 2009 2:08 PM - If this bill is passed, how much of taxpayer dollars will be used to fund abortions. -

The Hyde Amendment, restricting taxpayer funding of abortions, would not be cancelled if FOCA is passed. It is a separate amendment, and would have to be repealed as such. Also, there is nothing in FOCA that refers to the Hyde Amendment. Answered by a visitor on Apr 18, 2009 5:10 PM -
The percentage is unclear, but it is predicted that the tax revenue brought about by FOCA would exceed $14 trillion. This is based upon the increase in abortion rates, demands and the need to properly equip any hospital for abortions. Apr 5, 2009 9:18 AM - Did Pres. Obama finally sign this bill into law? -

This bill died in committee when the 110th Congress ended. We are currently on the 111th Congress, and this bill has NOT yet been introduced in either house of Congress. |
