The Senate and the House are about to vote on the 2010 federal budget, which allows taxpayer funding for elective abortions in the District of Columbia. Under the U.S. Constitution, Congress must oversee federal funds for the budget of the District of Columbia. It is already a great tragedy that the District of Columbia has the highest abortion rate in the country. The Alan Guttmacher Institute, the research arm of Planned Parenthood, reports that nearly half of all pregnancies in the District of Columbia end in abortion. Please be sure to contact your Representative and Senators today and tell them you don't want to pay for more abortions in D.C.!
