Omnibus Bill ALERT!

H.R. 3288:

  • Abortion: For the first time in 13 years, taxpayers will be forced to fork over money for abortions performed in the nation's capital.
  • Medical Marijuana: On top of D.C. abortions, the bill also authorizes the District to use local funds for a medical marijuana program.
  • Domestic Partner Benefits: H.R. 3288 opens a new funding stream for "partners" of D.C. employees.
  • Sex Education: Farewell to abstinence! The Omnibus zeros out "save sex" programs and replaces them with $110 million in condom promotion.
  • Planned Parenthood and Friends: After the $10 million boost for Title X funding, Planned Parenthood is expected to be the biggest recipient of the Fed's $317.5 million pool.
  • Exporting Family Planning: Under the current language, the U.S. would open up the spigots ($703.5 million) to overseas groups like the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) that promote abortion.
