Anti-Abortion activist Lila Rose says that Hollywood does not want to lose funding from Planned Parenthood<\/p>\n
Republicans in the House and Senate proposed a measure on Wednesday that would revoke federal funding for colleges that provide the abortion pill. <\/p>\n
The bill “would be another important step in the right direction to help save the lives of the unborn and to protect the safety of our girls,” Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., said during a press conference on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n
She, along with Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., proposed the legislation as Congress deliberates over what’s included in the federal budget for next year. <\/p>\n
Titled the “Protecting Life on College Campus Act of 2021,” the bill would apply to colleges and “school-based service site[s].”<\/p>\n
The House version reads: “No Federal funds may be awarded to any institution of higher education that hosts or is affiliated with any school-based service site that provides abortion drugs or abortion care to students of the institution or to employees of the institution or site.”<\/p>\n
It also requires schools to submit annual reports affirming to federal departments \u2013 Education (DOE) and Health and Human Services (HHS) \u2013 that school-based service sites don’t provide abortion drugs or “abortion care.”<\/p>\n
The bill is unlikely to pass in a Democratic House that has already attempted to strip many anti-abortion provisions from the ongoing appropriations process. <\/p>\n
While anti-abortion activists note the practice is always unsafe for unborn children, considerable debate has emerged over its impact on women.<\/p>\n
Backing the legislation on Wednesday was the group Students for Life of America, which has been sounding the alarm about California requiring universities to stock up on the medication. <\/p>\n
Upon passing the 2019 measure, California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared: “We\u2019re removing barriers to reproductive health \u2013 increasing access on college campuses and using technology to modernize how patients interact with providers.”<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, President Biden’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lifted restrictions on the drug. Janet Woodcock, the acting FDA commissioner, said in a letter that existing literature didn’t appear to show increases in serious safety concerns (ectopic pregnancy, hemorrhage and surgical interventions) as a result of modifying the in-person requirement during COVID-19.<\/p>\n
But anti-abortion critics have argued its much more dangerous than that and empirical knowledge about its effects is incomplete. The actual rates of complication and threats have been contested. <\/p>\n
The issue has garnered considerable attention in recent years with the coronavirus and FDA regulations raising questions about the necessity of medical oversight. <\/p>\n
Miller also pointed to a scene from “Unplanned,” in which former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson is portrayed having a purportedly gruesome and painful medicinal abortion. <\/p>\n
Planned Parenthood, which allegedly administered the drug to Johnson, did not respond to Fox News’ request for comment.<\/p>\n
