RINO incumbent congresswoman Carol Miller voted to expand taxpayer funding of abortion in December of 2019, during the lame duck of the U.S. House before Republicans took the gavel back from Nancy Pelosi.
The Heritage Foundation, a Republican thinktank that tracks key votes in Congress, describes the bill as an “11th hour, 1,773 page domestic ‘minibus’ spending package … loaded down with liberal poison pills and bad policy riders.”
Carol Miller’s vote to send taxpayer dollars to fund abortions wasn’t all that was included in that vote, however.
The Heritage Foundation write:
This 1,773 page minibus spending package was written in the 11th hour without sufficient transparency, is fiscally irresponsible, and contains numerous policy riders that violate President Trump and congressional Republicans’ promises to “drain the swamp.”
Heritage goes on to report that the fatal spending bill:
- Expands taxpayer funding of abortion through Obamacare insurance plans,
- Leaves Obamacare in place, and returns additional spending that was removed to pay for Obamacare.
- Boosts Medicaid and thus abortion funding for Puerto Rico, and
- Requires the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to spend $25 million each to study what they call the violent use of firearms.
The Heritage Foundation further blasted the ‘Domestic Minibus Spending Package’ (H.R. 1865), sending out what they call a “Key Vote” Alert, demanding that Republicans vote NO on the liberal, abortion funding spending bill.
Miller’s deadly vote took place on December 17th, 2019, during the 116th Congress.
The vote to fund abortion was brought forward on an amendment vote on what Congress called the “Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020.”
The vote to spend U.S. taxpayer dollars wasn’t Carol Miller’s only policy position deadly to Americans.
