The “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act” (H.R. 5939) was introduced by Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Dan Lipinski (D-IL) in late July 2010. http://chrissmith.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=201572 The Act would permanently ban taxpayer funding of abortion.
Here is information about a letter supporting the bill written by Cardinal DiNardo, who is the Archbishop of Gaveston/Houston and the Chariman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.http://www.usccb.org/comm/archives/2010/10-150.shtml
