Jim Banks told The Daily Wire on Wednesday afternoon. \u201cBiden\u2019s omni will potentially send millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood, which the vast majority of Americans oppose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Banks said that the worst part of the bill is the \u201cmassive windfall\u201d it gives to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and to its pro-abortion secretary, Xavier Becerra.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecretary Becerra is an anti-life radical who supports partial birth abortion,\u201d Banks said. \u201cHis budget increased by nearly 10%, and he\u2019ll use that money to pursue his anti-life agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gop-concerned-about-massive-spending-bill-internal-policy-doc-shows\">reported Wednesday morning<\/a> that\u00a0Republicans had grave concerns about the spending bill \u2014 an\u00a0internal Republican Study Committee messaging document shows that the massive figures included in the bill were kept secret until the bill\u2019s early morning release, noting that conservative lawmakers felt deprived of a voice in the negotiating process.<\/p>\n<p>The spending bill includes $575 million for \u201cfamily planning\u201d internationally, Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy pointed out, $286 million for Title X funding to \u201ckeep the lights on at Planned Parenthood, $32.5 million for the pro-abortion U.N. Population Fund, and $200 million for a brand new \u201cGender Equity and Equality Action Fund\u201d to help promote abortion across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHouse Democrats are reminding us that they are religiously pro-abortion, and that they want to export their extremism everywhere,\u201d Roy told The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, this is just political payback for the abortion industry at taxpayer expense,\u201d he added. \u201cThe American people need to say \u2018enough\u2019 and stop funding violent tyranny over the lives of the unborn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Funneling millions to the abortion industry through the massive spending bill is a \u201ctypical Washington trick,\u201d according to Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s awful, funneling any public funds to the abortion industry is not something Congress should be doing,\u201d Roberts said in a Wednesday afternoon phone interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would really like to encourage our conservative lawmakers to remember that in spite of whatever else is in that omnibus that they like, the far more important thing for them to do is to protect women and to protect the unborn, and it\u2019s what their constituents expect,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can tell you, this is one of the worst examples of DC,\u201d the Heritage Foundation president added, warning that \u201cthe amount of corruption\u201d and \u201clack of transparency\u201d exhibited in the spending bill is \u201cegregious\u201d and should make conservative lawmakers dig deeper into the legislation before voting on it.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative organizations also emphasized that the bill has many avenues through which it can fund the abortion lobby.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter obtained by The Daily Wire, the Family Research Council\u2019s Vice President for Policy and Government Affairs Travis Weber begs lawmakers to oppose the spending bill and warns that it will score against the bill (HR 2471) \u201cor any legislative vehicle\u201d containing the same provisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe omnibus bill contains a problematic reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) that undermines the bill\u2019s very purpose and harms the battered women that VAWA is intended to help,\u201d the FRC letter said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also turns a program designed to help women succeed financially around the globe into a \u2018Gender Equity and Equality Action Fund,&#8217;\u201d Weber continued. \u201cThis new program, backed by previous commitments by the Biden Administration to promote gender ideology around the world, will open the door wide for this administration to push a harmful ideology in places like Eastern Europe at a time when safety and security should be the primary goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This Gender Equity and Equality Action Fund program would \u201cpave the way\u201d for the international abortion industry to promote abortion as necessary for women, Weber warned.<\/p>\n<p>The spending bill would give massive sums of money to the organization Education Cannot Wait, a global education initiative hosted by the UN Children\u2019s Fund that promotes access to contraception and abortion as well as ideological gender and sex education, according to a memo from the\u00a0Center for Family and Human Rights.<\/p>\n<p>Education Cannot Wait asserted in a 2018-2021 Gender Strategy document that \u201csexual and reproductive health interventions\u201d are vital to preventing pregnancy and continued education, the memo said.<\/p>\n<p>To date, according to the memo, the United States has contributed over $92 million to this organization.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
