Congresswoman Tenney Slams House Democrats' Bill to Codify Abortion-on-Demand Up Until the Moment of Birth

Press Release

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22) today slammed House Democrats' passage of radical legislation to codify abortion-on-demand for any reason up until the moment of birth.

"House Democrats today passed radical legislation that would end state pro-life laws and codify a "right' to abortion for any reason, including disability, race, and sex, at any stage of a pregnancy up until birth. It could also weaken conscience protections for healthcare providers who object to abortion, and it would remove commonsense laws protecting women from coercion. This is completely out-of-touch with the mainstream. After all, 80% of Americans think abortion should be illegal in the third trimester of a pregnancy.

"Democrats also pushed through a bill that would strip away rights from parents, endanger the health and safety of countless women and girls, and enable abusers. This poorly written legislation would do nothing to prevent unrelated adults or sexual abusers from taking minors out-of-state for abortions, and it would give human traffickers and abusers more direct access to chemical abortions. This is not "compassionate' legislation. This is barbaric.

"As a mother and staunch pro-life advocate, I will continue to support compassionate pro-life policies that ensure women and families, especially those facing unexpected pregnancies, have the tools, resources, and support they need to make decisions that embrace life. I will always stand for the unborn and oppose the dangerous abortion-on-demand policies that are being pushed by far-left politicians in Washington, Albany, and other states around the country."
