As Republicans in Congress debate whether to extend COVID-19-era health care premium tax credits, a prominent conservative organization is warning lawmakers not to abandon pro-life priorities.

The Advancing American Freedom Foundation memorandum, titled “How Obamacare Subsidies Pay for Abortions,” lays out a loophole in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, which allows for taxpayer dollars to subsidize abortions.

“While the legislative text of [Obamacare] says that an insurance plan ‘shall not use any amount attributable’ to the federal tax credit to pay for abortion services, the legislation allows subsidies to fund plans that cover abortions,” it reads.

“As written today, D.C. and 25 states allow ACA plans to cover abortions … This state loophole makes the existing abortion funding restrictions toothless,” it adds.
