WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) issued the following statement after voting against Democrats’ radical abortion bills, H.R. 8296 and H.R. 8297:

“Following the Supreme Court’s rightful Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, Democrats have doubled down on their reprehensible abortion agenda, waging war against the precious unborn. These disturbing pieces of legislation establish abortion on demand, prohibit pro-life states like Georgia from enacting life-saving legislation, and undermine the health and safety of pregnant women. It is imperative that we protect the most innocent among us, the precious unborn, which is why I will continue to stand firm against Democrats’ radical agenda and fight for the sanctity of human life.”

Earlier this week, Rep. Clyde led 56 of his House Republican colleagues in sending a letter to President Biden, urging him to rescind his recent Executive Order aimed at “protecting access” to abortion.

Additionally, Rep. Clyde joined Rep. Jody Hice (GA-10) in sending a letter to Jere Morehead, the President of the University of Georgia, demanding he take immediate corrective actions to ensure the university's official resources are no longer being used to target crisis pregnancy centers.
