For new GOP House majority, a focus on abortion messaging – By Sandhya Raman (Roll Call) / Jan 9, 2023
The agenda stands in contrast to the flurry of abortion access bills Democrats introduced last year
The House GOP majority plans to vote this week on three measures aimed at emphasizing their opposition to abortion, including a rules package that will fast-track consideration of legislation permanently banning federal funding of abortion.
It’s also scheduled to vote later this week on a bill addressing GOP concerns about infants who survive an attempted abortion and a measure condemning attacks on anti-abortion groups and facilities.
The trio of measures come after House Democrats last year voted on a frenzy of abortion rights bills in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, which overturned the federal right to an abortion.
Taken together, the GOP measures will likely further cement that abortion policy changes for either side will have to come from the state level or the Biden administration.
