Last week, Senator Rubio co-sponsored the "No Taxpayer Funding For Abortion Act," which will ensure that taxpayer dollars are never used for the destruction of human life through abortion. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a companion bill last Wednesday.
Senator Rubio joined with fellow GOP Senators to introduce legislation today that would prevent federal funds from being used to fund abortions. The Protect Life Act, introduced by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and others, would codify longstanding policy preventing taxpayer funding of abortion and apply it to the President's health care law.

"The announced agreement, if it becomes reality, would be a major setback for peace efforts in the Middle East and is not in the best interest of the Palestinian people. Participation in a Palestinian government of any organization, such as Hamas, that fails to renounce their calls for the destruction of Israel and the use of violence should prompt the withdrawal of our assistance."
This week, Senator Rubio addressed hundreds of people at each of his town hall meetings in Pensacola, Daytona Beach and St. Augustine. His message that it's time to seriously confront our debt crisis resonated with the local crowds.

Clearly, we should be on the side of the Syrian people longing for freedom and challenging the regime's corrupt and repressive rule. Unfortunately, the Obama administration's hesitancy to weigh in has been mistaken for indecision at best and indifference at worst.
Earlier this week, Senator Rubio signed on to a letter to protect First Amendment rights of prospective federal contractors.

Although America once led the way to the moon, we now face the unacceptable prospect of limited options to simply get a human into space.
