In a contentious legislative session, Republican lawmakers including Rep. Greg Murphy, Rep. Gus Bilirakis, and Rep. Brian Babin voted YES to redirect Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds to pregnancy resource centers, which they believe support life and oppose the Biden Administration's 'extreme, pro-abortion agenda'. In contrast, Democrats like Rep. Jimmy Gomez and Rep. Emilia Sykes voted NO, arguing that the move takes critical assistance away from families to fund unregulated anti-abortion centers, a stance echoed by the ACLU's recommendation to vote no on these 'crucial bills'.

Republicans just intensified their attack on reproductive rights by redirecting funds meant to support families toward anti-abortion centers. These centers masquerade as health providers but are just tools to criminalize pregnant women. I voted NO. https://t.co/x7UEpVhCb3
