Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), joined Senators Jim Risch (R-ID), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Todd Young (R-IN), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Rand Paul (R-KY), in introducing the American Values Act, legislation to permanently enact and expand existing prohibitions on the use of U.S. foreign assistance to pay for the performance or promotion of abortion services overseas.
“U.S. foreign assistance is a critical tool of our national security and should not, in any way, go towards abortion or the promotion of abortion overseas,” Rubio said. “I’m proud to join Ranking Member Risch and my Republican colleagues in introducing this bill and I remain committed to ensuring that the taxpayer dollars of hard working Americans are never spent on abortions at home or overseas.”
“For decades, Congress has worked to ensure that U.S. foreign assistance would not be used to perform or promote abortions services. Unfortunately, pro-abortion groups have set their sights on exploiting loopholes and even overturning the long-standing pro-life provisions of law that have provided a solid foundation for values-based U.S. foreign assistance,” Risch said. “It is time for Congress to take decisive action and eliminate any ambiguity about how these provisions are meant to be applied, and so I’m proud to introduce the American Values Act to make them permanent in U.S. law.”
“The progressive left is working to enact their agenda at every possible opportunity,” Young said. “With the number of challenges facing our nation, we must make sure that our foreign assistance dollars are being well spent. Unfortunately, pro-abortion groups are hard at work trying to hijack those tax dollars not to protect our nation, but to perform or promote abortions around the world. This proposal would end attempts to trick the system and help ensure foreign assistance funding will go to those in need – not be used for abortion services overseas.”
If enacted, this legislation would:
