Their bill would prohibit the use of taxpayer money for abortion-related travel, lodging, meals, childcare, translation, doula care, and education services for undocumented immigrants. Harris criticized the policy as an abuse of taxpayer dollars, referring to it as a &#8220;taxpayer-funded uber for abortions.&#8221; Miller accused the Biden management of effectively acting as abortion traffickers by facilitating these procedures. The proposed legislation has support from several pro-life organizations and seeks to align federal policy with the Hyde Amendment, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-house-republicans-introduce-legislation-to-fully-defund-critical-race-theory\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans Introduce ... To Fully Defund Critical Race Theory\">bans federal funding<\/a> for abortions. The Department of Health and Human Services is reviewing regulations to ensure compliance with the Hyde Amendment, especially after the Office of Legal Counsel reversed an earlier opinion and now asserts federal funds cannot be used for ancillary abortion services.The bill and related efforts follow moves by the Trump administration to reverse the Biden-era policy.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Two congressional Republicans are working to slam the door on a Biden-era rule that required taxpayers to pay the cost when illegal immigrant minors wanted to travel to get an abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Reps.
