Rep. Mark Green has announced the introduction of the States Choose Life Act of 2023, a pivotal legislation set to shield states like Tennessee against the pro-abortion stance of the current Biden administration. Through offering protection against the loss of Title X funding for states disallowing abortions or transfers to abortion-friendly states, the bill asserts the rights of states pursuing pro-life laws. The Act is timely, moving against the trend set by the present administration’s radical pro-abortion agenda. Going further, with this Act, Rep. Green aims to invalidate the ability of Health and Human Services to withdraw funding from states refusing abortion referrals. This fight for life is reaffirming the state’s ability to uphold pro-life decisions without federal financial punishment.
