Virginia Allen The Republican Study Committee has introduced “the most pro-life congressional budget ever produced, with dozens of policies that support our fight to protect and uphold the sanctity of life,” Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., told The Daily Signal. The budget’s release on Wednesday comes just 10 days before the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that overturned Roe v. Wade. It contains over 220 bills and initiatives backed by members of the committee, including many of pro-life bills. The Republican Study Committee is a conservative caucus of House Republicans chaired by Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., and includes over 170 members. Cline is the chairman of committee’s Budget and Spending Task Force. Every year, the committee issues a budget aimed at reducing federal spending, balancing the budget, and furthering conservative values. |
