They have been discovered to protect children Medicaid and extracting fetal fabric for profit. ”

Americans, even those who have no moral repairs over abortion, do not want their taxes to be allocated to abortion,” he said. Yonke told CNA that about 80 demonstrations were carried out in 20 states of the country.
