Hageman’s Bill Revokes Tax Exemption for Abortion Providers

Hageman’s Bill Revokes Tax Exemption for Abortion Providers

Congresswoman Harriet Hageman joined Wyoming's radio talk show host Glenn Woods to keep the state up to date on what she has been doing in Washington DC.

During this interview, which you can hear below, he spoke about a new piece of legislation that would amend the Internal Revenue Code to revoke the tax-exempt status of organizations performing or funding abortions.

Original cosponsors include Representatives Glenn Grothman (R-WI), Andrew Clyde (R-GA), John Rose (R-TN), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Mary Miller (R-IL), Mark Messmer (R-IN), Clay Higgins (R-LA), John McGuire (R-VA), and Troy Downing (R-MT).

You can listen to the interview in the audio file below.

“Organizations profiting off ending innocent lives have been allowed to masquerade as ‘charities’ and receive generous tax benefits,” said Rep. Hageman. “Abortion is not health care, it is not compassionate, and it is certainly not a charitable cause worthy of tax-exempt status.”

Other topics discussed were a bill fighting for Wyoming's small refineries. The congresswoman has a beef with not being consulted on a bill that would directly affect Wyoming.

You can watch her speaking at a committee meeting on this topic in the video below.

Also, the SAVE Act was discussed. The SAVE Act is a proposed United States law that would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require "documentary proof of United States citizenship" to register to vote.
