Condemns the efforts of the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations and the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women to coerce the government of the Republic of Ireland to reduce or eliminate its constitutionally established abortion restrictions.

Questions the merit of using U.S. taxpayer-generated revenues to support such Committees in light of their work to promote the practice of abortion.
