Susan B. Anthony List Commends Reps. Smith and Lipinski on Bipartisan Bill Introducing Government-Wide Ban on Taxpayer-Funded Abortion

WASHINGTON, July 30 /Christian Newswire/ — Today, Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser commended Reps. Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Dan Lipinski (D-IL) on their introduction of the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act” which establishes a government-wide ban on taxpayer-funding of abortion, and rebuked “pro-life” Democrats in support of the pro-abortion federal health care bill, saying:

“Representatives like Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-03), Joe Donnelly (IN-02) and Brad Ellsworth (IN-08) who voted in favor of the federal health care bill but co-sponsored this bill have publicly admitted that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act allows for the taxpayer-funding of abortion, that the Presidential Executive Order is insufficient and that a more permanent fix is necessary.

“The Smith-Lipinski bill will consolidate and make permanent a string of policies that have attempted to prevent taxpayer-funded abortion despite a pro-abortion agenda being imposed by a Democrat-controlled Congress and America’s most pro-abortion president in history,” Dannenfelser continued.

Two officers with the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) have been charged in a three-count indictment with federal crimes in connection with the beating death of civilian Raymond Robair in July 2005.

Today’s indictments were announced by Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division; Jim Letten, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana; and David Welker, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI New Orleans Field Office.

Officer Melvin Williams is charged with violating Robair’s constitutional rights by beating him on July 30, 2005 (Count 1). The indictment alleges that Officer Williams kicked Robair and struck him with a baton, resulting in his death. Robair, who suffered fractured ribs and a ruptured spleen, was pronounced dead at Charity Hospital later on July 30, 2005.

The indictment also charges Williams, along with NOPD Officer Matthew Dean Moore, with obstructing justice by writing and submitting a false and inaccurate incident report regarding their interactions with Robair (Count 2). Moore also faces one additional felony count, for making false statements to FBI agents in March 2010 (Count 3).

Williams faces a possible maximum sentence of life in prison. Moore faces a possible maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.

This case, which is ongoing, is being investigated by the New Orleans Field Office of the FBI, and is being prosecuted by Trial Attorneys Forrest Christian and Jared Fishman of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, along with Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward Rivera for the Eastern District of Louisiana.

An indictment is merely an accusation, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
