Do Republicans really mean what they say? We’re about to find out. A budget debate in Congress has stripped away all pretenses. It has left us confronting a simple truth: Your values are best expressed in how you spend money. That means abortion is still a federal issue — because taxpayers are still funding it. Those who commit acts of abortion and who sell appalling — sterilizing — gender “treatments” are demanding to stay on the payroll.

If Republicans really do what mean what they say, then it’s obvious what they must do. It’s time for the GOP to tell Planned Parenthood and all abortion vendors to go fund themselves.
