Boebert bill would bar government help for immigrants seeking out-of-state abortion

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado introduced a bill this week that would block the federal government from transporting immigrants across state lines to receive an abortion, and she has co-sponsor support from fellow Colorado Republicans in the House, Reps. Ken Buck and Doug Lamborn.

The No Taxpayer Funds for Illegal Alien Abortions Act would prohibit U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services from using taxpayer dollars to transport any undocumented immigrant across state lines to get an abortion.

“The Biden administration is unlawfully using taxpayer money to transport pregnant, illegal alien children across state lines for late-term abortions,” Boebert said in a news release. “My colleagues and I have introduced bicameral legislation to end these illegal and horrific policies once and for all. Taxpayer money should never fund abortions, whether for citizens or non-citizens. Our priority at the southern border should be security and peace, not death and destruction.”

The Office of Refugee Resettlement issued new guidelines in early November to ensure unaccompanied migrant youth have access to abortion while in ORR shelters or facilities, prioritizing them for placement in shelters in states, such as Colorado, that protect abortion access. It also requires the federal government to pay to transport a minor across state lines if they are initially placed in a state that restricts abortion — this is what prompted Boebert’s proposal. A request for comment from the White House has not yet been returned.

1. But I thought the GOP didn't want more "anchor babies"?

[alwaysinasnit]

2. Republicans, in general, don't seem to be good chess players.

3. they (republicans) don't know what they want. With no leader they

don't know what to say or do. They forget the party line unless their they are told it daily.

4. All they want is to "own the libs," and they don't care how they do it

or how much damage doing so might wreak on themselves.

[republianmushroom]

5. the funny part of that is the Lib.s own them.

[wnylib]

6. So people can donate to private funds to pay for their

transportation. Or simply use volunteers to transport them and use donated finds to pay for the abortions.

Or, states where abortion is legal might be able and willing to pick up the tab.

7. Then.... she can complain about....

anchor babies.


It the law that keeps giving outrage.

8. Good luck getting it past the Senate

Or signed by Biden, you stupid, ambulatory tramp stamp.

9. Ah, yes, the three idiots of the Colorado delegation. Lumpy lamborn bestirred

himself to an action??? ohh myyy.
