Legislative Victories from the House Floor This week, House Republicans passed several key pieces of legislation that have set the tone for the new Congress. One of the first bills passed was the Born-Alive Survivors Act, which simply says that if a newborn infant survives an attempted abortion, that baby must be given lifesaving medical attention. While you would think this is a non-controversial position, all but one Democrat opposed the legislation. I was proud to join my Republican colleagues in passing this important legislation to establish a bare-minimum standard for protecting human life and caring for babies born alive, instead of leaving them to suffer and die. 
In addition to this important pro-life bill, we also passed a resolution condemning the violence against crisis pregnancy centers that took place following the leaked Supreme Court decision last year. Once again, we only had one Democrat join us in rejecting violence against those simply working to save lives and help vulnerable women in the most difficult of circumstances. At the beginning of the week, I voted for the Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act, which would fire the Biden Administration's 87,000 new IRS agents. Democrats' claim to stand for the "average American", while the actually support efforts to increase audits for middle class families. This bill would block those efforts and allocate funding for improved customer service at the IRS. We also passed the Protecting America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) from China Act, which would prohibit the sale and exportation of crude oil from the United States' SPR to China. For the last several months, President Biden has been depleting the American SPR to help cover up the massive failures of his political agenda. Americans have been footing higher energy bills while Biden has been compromising our national and economic security by selling the nation's petroleum resources. This new Congress is dedicated to creating accountability and stopping corruption. |
