A bill in the House of Representatives could determine just that.  H.R. 733 would grant “home rule” to the District of Columbia allowing the district to directly manage the funds received from Congress (via American tax-payers), but unless the bill is amended, it would also allow the District to fund abortions with tax-payer dollars.  Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has proposed an amendment to fix this huge pro-life loophole, but the amendment was not considered before Congresses recessed.  This will no doubt be an important pro-life issue when Congress returns in September.
