Reps. Lamborn, Clyde Demand Biden Rescind Undemocratic and Unconstitutional Abortion Executive Order

Press Release

Congressman Doug Lamborn joined Congressman Andrew Clyde and 55 of their House Republican colleagues in sending a letter to President Biden, urging him to rescind his recent Executive Order aimed at "protecting access" to abortion in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision.

In the letter, the lawmakers describe President Biden's Executive Order as "a direct affront to this nation's democratic process and a blatant disrespect for the sanctity of the Supreme Court."

"The U.S. Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case has empowered the American people to decide the issue of abortion through their elected officials in the states and in Congress, not through authoritarian Executive Orders," said Congressman Lamborn. "President Biden is trying to circumvent the voice of the American people by issuing an Executive Order that significantly undermines the U.S. Constitution and the balance of power accompanying it. I was glad to join my colleague Congressman Clyde in demanding that President Biden withdraws this Executive Order and stick to governing within the boundaries our Constitution grants to the Executive Office."

"Instead of upholding both our Republic's democratic process and the integrity of our nation's highest court, President Biden is intent on advancing the evils of abortion through executive action," said Congressman Clyde. "Subverting the will of the American people and circumventing the Constitution in order to advance the murder of innocent unborn babies is truly unconscionable. President Biden must immediately rescind his latest attack on the sanctity of life, refrain from taking further action that undermines American voters, and respect the Supreme Court's decision."
