James Lankford:
Senator James Lankford (R-OK), Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), and Representative Michael Cloud (R-TX), along with more than 65 colleagues, introduced a bicameral joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify an illegal US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) rule that provides abortion services through the taxpayer-funded VA health care system. The CRA gives Congress the authority to review major rules issued by federal agencies. If Congress disapproves of a rule via resolution, the rule will have no force or effect under the law.
“Service members are heroes and deserve to get the care they need when they return from the frontlines. It’s appalling that instead of providing health care, the Biden administration is abusing VA facilities and breaking longstanding federal law to push its abortion-on-demand agenda,” said Lankford. “Abortion is not health care, and taxpayers should not be funding it, especially at our VA health centers.”
