Kevin Brady: “I thank Chairman Price for his leadership during this historic effort to dismantle the President's burdensome healthcare…”

“I thank Chairman Price for his leadership during this historic effort to dismantle the President's burdensome healthcare law and stand for the rights of the unborn. I am pleased to support this veto override. It couldn't come at a more critical time in our history. The rights of the innocent unborn is the great human rights issue of our time. This President has chosen to stand on the wrong side of history. By vetoing this bill, he continues to funnel taxpayer dollars to subsidize the gruesome practices at Planned Parenthood. This country has lost 58 million children to abortion since 1973. That means there are more American deaths from this practice each year that are nearly equal to all of the American casualties from all our wars combined. This government-financed war on the innocent unborn has to stop. This House has already spoken. Whether you are pro-life or pro- choice, we have always agreed you don't use taxpayer dollars for the controversial practice of abortion. It is up to us to continue to stand with those we represent who don't believe their dollars should go to this. We are going to stand with our constituents against this terrible healthcare law because they have been hurt by higher prices, fewer doctors, and less affordable medicine. Frankly, this healthcare law has hurt too many Americans. We know now the path to repeal. We know how to remove the law's mandates, tax hikes, and slush funds. Now we just need a new President.”
