The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act would prohibit taxpayer funding of abortions and would ensure that healthcare reform law does not cover the cost of abortions. The Title X Abortion Provider Act would prevent tax dollars from being sent to abortion providers receiving Title X family-planning grants. AUL has drafted 38 additional model anti-abortion bills.

Virginia is trying to block paying for abortions.
Of course if the Gubment isn't paying for abortions, this bill wouldn't be necessary. It is easy to get gubment money for abortion.
