This ban could force some women to resort to unsafe alternatives and others could suffer delays resulting in more risky procedures. One way or another. society will have to bear the costs of providing medical and support services for the eligible recipients under this block grant who are not able to terminate crisis pregnancies. Let me now turn my attention to our Nations immigrants. H.R. 2015 restores benefits to those lowincome legal immigrants who were receiving SSI benefits when the welfare reform legislation was enacted last August and lost those benefits. However. this is nothing more than a Trojan Horse because the bill does not provide SS benefits to legal immigrants who were in the country as of last August. were not receiving benefits in August. but who later became disabled despite the fact that this was part of the budget agreement. The President has threatened to veto the bill because of the absence of these benefits. We should not allow this Trojan Horse to leave the floor of the House.
