Citi is the financial institution responsible for managing all credit cards for House offices, and members of Congress use the bank’s cards to pay for flights, supplies and other goods, the letter’s authors wrote.
“By choosing to underwrite travel to abortions for its employees, Citi has explicitly staked out its position to advance the liberal agenda of abortion on demand and has shown no regard for whether a particular state’s laws are in place to protect the safety of a woman and her child,” the lawmakers wrote. “This is an unfortunate move by Citi that will lead to the circumvention of state laws and unfettered access to elective abortions. It has long been the policy of our legislative branch of government that taxpayer dollars not be used to fund abortion.”
