Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) issued the following statement Friday after voting against the House Democrats' two radical abortion bills.

"Democrats are once again doubling down on their efforts to nationally enshrine abortion at the expense of democratically passed state laws, our Constitutional order, and the natural, pre-political right to one's own life.

While rejecting legislation to protect the rights of parents, to prevent child trafficking, and to ensure newborn infants receive medical care, Democrats voted to allow abortion up to the moment birth and to invalidate almost every pro-life law on the books.

This aggressive action is all to appease the most radical, profit-driven elements of the abortion industry, and it only strengthens the argument for federal action to protect this fundamental right for our unborn fellow Americans."
