GOP Congressman Moves to Defund Biden’s Executive Orders In Order To Protect The Unborn

Jan 21, 2023 | Political News

Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) introduced a bill on Friday that would defund all of President Joe Biden's executive orders that focus on abortion. The bill's introduction comes on the day that thousands of pro-life activists flooded Washington, D.C. for the annual March for Life.

Rep. Clyde, along with 90 of his Republican colleagues, introduced the “Protect the UNBORN (Undo the Negligent Biden Orders Right Now) Act” to prohibit the implementation and funding of Biden's executive orders relating to abortion.

“Congress cannot cowardly stand by as the leader of the free world wields his executive power to murder countless innocent unborn lives,” said Clyde in a press release. “In order to protect the precious unborn, we must block and defund the Biden Administration’s unconscionable, undemocratic, and unconstitutional Executive Orders. As an unapologetic defender of the unborn, I’m proud to introduce this legislation to prevent taxpayer dollars from funding the Left’s radical abortion agenda, preserve the integrity of our nation’s highest court, and protect the sanctity of human life.”

“Today, I reintroduced the Protect the UNBORN Act to block and defund President Biden’s pro-abortion executive orders,” the Georgia representative wrote on Twitter. “Congress must take action to protect the precious unborn and prevent taxpayer dollars from funding the Left’s abhorrent abortion agenda.”

“As tens of thousands of proud pro-life Americans attend the March for Life in our nation’s capital today, I’m proud to stand for the sanctity of life by reintroducing legislation to block and defund President Biden’s pro-abortion executive orders,” Clyde told Breitbart in a written statement. “At every turn, the Biden Administration has advanced the evils of abortion — subverting the will of the American people, circumventing the Constitution, and undermining the integrity of our nation’s highest court. Congress must take action to protect the precious unborn and prevent taxpayer dollars from funding the Left’s abhorrent abortion agenda.”

Last summer, Rep. Clyde and 56 other representatives sent President Biden a letter urging he rescinds Executive Order 14076, titled “Protecting Access to Reproductive Health Care,” and respect the decision made by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Despite the plea, Biden signed Executive Order 14079, titled “Securing Access to Reproductive Health Care,” which directed the Department of Health and Human Services to increase and protect the availability of abortion.

“The Dobbs decision was a major milestone in the fight for life, but it was only the first step in protecting the unborn,” explained Executive Director of Heritage Action Jessica Anderson. “The next steps include pushing for new protections for life at both the state and federal level, but they also must include pushing back against Biden administration actions aimed at circumventing state laws that protect life. Rep. Clyde’s legislation that would block President Biden’s pro-abortion executive orders is a good start on that front, and it should garner the support of all pro-life conservatives.”

As thousands marched through Washington on Friday, the pro-life movement is still full steam ahead in making abortion unthinkable in America. Bills like the one introduced by Rep. Clyde are a stepping stone to that mission.
