Taxpayers would be forced to pay for abortions in Pennsylvania, under an order from the PA Commonwealth Court.

“This is a miscarriage of justice for taxpayers, mothers, and babies throughout Pennsylvania,” said Maria V. Gallagher, executive director of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, the Keystone State affiliate of National Right to Life.

“No taxpayer should be forced to pay for the taking of an innocent, unrepeatable human life. This decision represents a sweeping violation of individual conscience protections and could cause the abortion rate to skyrocket in our Commonwealth,” Gallagher added.

Research consistently shows that, when taxpayer funding of abortion occurs, abortion totals climb exponentially. Public opinion polls also indicate the vast majority of Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortion.

“This is a tragic day for Pennsylvania. We grieve for the lives that will be lost and the hearts that will be broken as a result of this deeply-flawed ruling,” Gallagher said.
