The House has voted to reauthorize the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief after adding pro-life protections, teeing up a showdown with the Senate as Republicans accuse the Biden administration of seeking to expand the program’s mission to allow promoting abortion.
The House voted 216-212 late Thursday to pass the State and Foreign Operations appropriations bill, which includes a one-year extension for PEPFAR, after amending the legislation to prohibit the global HIV/AIDS relief from going to non-governmental organizations that advocate for abortion.
“Regrettably, PEPFAR has been reimagined—hijacked—by the Biden administration to empower pro-abortion international non-governmental organizations, deviating from its life-affirming work,” said Mr. Smith, who sponsored PEPFAR’s 2018 reauthorization. Democrats have accused Republicans of jeopardizing lives by threatening to block the reauthorization of PEPFAR. U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator John Nkengasong insisted in June that PEPFAR has never and would never be used as a platform to support abortion.
