House votes to end shutdown amid dispute over abortion funding in Obamacare

The House of Representatives has voted to reopen the government after a 43-day shutdown. The closure was linked to disagreements over funding for abortions through the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America, issued a statement following the vote. She said, “SBA Pro-Life America opposes any funding of Obamacare that fails to include Hyde Amendment protections and will continue to score against any effort that forces Americans to pay for abortions. Last month, more than 100 pro-life groups sent a letter to Congress urging lawmakers to stop taxpayer funding of abortion through Obamacare.”

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America describes itself as a network with over one million members across the country focused on ending abortion by supporting national leaders and advocating for laws intended to save lives. The organization emphasizes its commitment to promoting pro-life women leaders.
