Pro-life crusader Rep. Mark Green is taking swift action to protect Tennessee and other states from the pro-abortion Biden administration with his groundbreaking States Choose Life Act of 2023. The bold legislation will put an end to the Biden administration’s oppressive and retaliatory measures against states that seek to protect and preserve life at all costs. Rep. Green has boldly declared that his bill will prevent the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) from stripping Title X funding from states that do not allow abortions or refer residents to abortion-allowing states.
The States Choose Life Act of 2023 could not have been introduced at a more critical time. Pro-life states have been under attack by the radical pro-abortion agenda of the Biden administration for far too long, but Rep. Green is determined to reverse this egregious injustice with his courageous legislation. In a powerful statement, Rep. Green declared that HHS cannot be allowed to force states to participate in abortions or risk losing Title X healthcare funding. He also noted that Tennesseans and Americans from coast to coast depend on Title X for access to care, including vital services like cancer screenings and pregnancy services.
The HHS is a notorious pro-abortion agency that has used its power to attack and intimidate pro-life states relentlessly. Fortunately, Rep. Green is fighting back with the States Choose Life Act of 2023, which will protect the rights of states to pass pro-life laws without the federal government seeking retribution. Rep. Green emphasized that his legislation will amend Title X of the Public Health Service Act to prohibit HHS from revoking funding for states that refuse to make referrals for abortion.
It’s worth noting that the Trump administration initially passed a rule that widely prohibited funding from being used for abortion services, but the Biden administration reversed this rule. It’s clear that the Biden administration is hell-bent on promoting the pro-abortion agenda at all costs, even if it means trampling on the rights of pro-life states. Fortunately, Rep. Green is standing up to this oppression and fighting to protect the unborn.
The States Choose Life Act of 2023 is a critical piece of legislation that could not have come at a more crucial time. The HHS has recently written a letter to the State of Tennessee stating that it would no longer provide Title X funding, which the state has utilized to support low-income families for decades. This is a blatant attack on the most vulnerable members of society, but Rep. Green is fighting back with unparalleled courage and determination.
The fight for life is just beginning, and Rep. Green is at the forefront of this critical battle. As the Dobbs v. Jackson decision marks its one-year anniversary, Rep. Green has warned that the tyrannical rule of Roe is over, but it’s up to states to protect unborn babies. The states should be allowed to do so without suffering repercussions, financial or otherwise, from the federal government. Tennessee was awarded more than $7.1 million in Title X funding last year, and the Biden administration has awarded $256.6 million for Title X family services nationwide. Rep. Green is determined to protect the rights of pro-life states and undo the damage caused by the pro-abortion Biden administration.
