Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, President Biden, Senator Schumer, and Speaker Pelosi are trying to appease their base by pushing an onslaught of radical abortion policies.
Speaker Pelosi pitched a fit the day Roe v. Wade was overturned, and today she brought two extreme abortion bills to the House floor for a vote, H.R. 8296 and H.R. 8297.
H.R. 8296 will allow abortion-on-demand in every state if enacted into law and H.R. 8297 will protect abortionists and hurt women if enacted into law. The House passed both bills today by a vote of 219-209.
When the votes were brought up on the floor, Representatives Michelle Fischbach (MN-7) and Mike Johnson (LA-04) stepped up to the plate and brought motions to vote on the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Act. But Democrats balked at the common-sense protections for children outside of the womb who survive abortions and voted down the motions—proving how extreme Democrat leadership has become in their abortion policy.
The Senate pitched a fastball with a bill that shields abortionists from state laws that protect life and promotes women traveling across state lines to have abortions. Thankfully, Sen. Lankford (OK) cried “foul!” and was able to stop the bill in its tracks.
President Biden is trying to score as many points with the far-left base as he can by pushing abortion policies through the Executive Branch. Last week, he issued an Executive Order protecting “mobile abortionists,” seeking to discredit pregnancy care centers, creating legal cover for the abortion industry, and spreading the abortion poison pill.
The President is also trying to load his bases with federal agencies. For instance, the Department of Justice created a “Reproductive Justice Task Force” to fight pro-life laws and spread dangerous chemical abortions. The Department of Health and Human Services issued guidelines attempting to force pharmacists to provide abortifacients.
With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, we know we are not in the last inning! And we know that protecting life is not a political game.
While the left’s batting average is failing the American people, we will not stop fighting for the life and well-being of preborn children and their mothers. When abortion is unthinkable and life is cherished, we win.

Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer are desperate to protect and promote unlimited abortion across the country. They know the U.S. Supreme Court could soon overturn Roe v. Wade.
Their latest effort involves H.R. 3755, which has already passed the House. We expect the Senate will vote to advance it on MONDAY. This bill would allow abortion-on-demand in every state if enacted into law. This is the first time the Senate has ever voted on such an expansive abortion bill.
Tell your Senator to vote NO on H.R. 3755!
If enacted, H.R. 3755 would:
- Allow an abortion at any point an abortionist deems appropriate—including late-term abortions.
- Ban current life-saving state laws like the Heartbeat Act, dismemberment abortion bans, and sex-selection abortion bans.
- Deny parents the ability to know or be involved if their daughter has an abortion.
- Ban current state laws that require in-person counseling to help prevent coerced abortions.
- Ban current state laws that require abortionists to give women information about their babies and abortion complications.
- Redefine mothers as “people who are pregnant,” a term that denies the truth that mothers are women.
Tell your Senator to reject abortion-on-demand and to stand for our first American value—the right to life. Click here to send a message to your Senator to VOTE NO on H.R. 3755 through our Action Center—it takes less than 1 minute!

Congress had their annual baseball game last night. Democrats lost last night’s game, but now they’re trying to get their triple-threat agenda across home plate in Congress. Democrats want to pass at least three radical bills by the end of the week. Here’s a quick pitch of the bills they want to pass:
Infrastructure
The Infrastructure Bill should be about fixing roads and infrastructure, as the name suggests. Here’s the catch: this over 2,000-page bill will cost taxpayers $1 trillion and contains Equality Act language.
Human Infrastructure
The House is also teaming up with Biden to pass a radical $3.5 trillion “Human Infrastructure” bill, also known as Biden’s Socialist Budget. The bill omits the Hyde amendment, meaning the bill would force taxpayers to fund abortions. The bill also overrides longstanding pro-life protections in a new government-run health care program and in the Affordable Care Act exchanges.
HR 2119
Finally, the House will vote on HR 2119, the Family Violence Prevention Services Improvement Act of 2021. This bill should be focused on giving states grants to help individuals impacted by domestic violence. But here’s the curveball: HR 2119 is being used as a vehicle for radical Equality Act language. Specifically,
- HR 2119 could force domestic violence women’s shelters to allow men who claim to be women into women’s private spaces.
- HR 2119 could force faith-based domestic service providers committed to serving their communities to accept the LGBT agenda or else close their programs.
- HR 2119 is another way the left is trying to insert their gender ideology into federal law, while ignoring the harmful impacts to women and children.
These three bills could be up for a vote any time this week! Please step up to the plate and urge your Member of Congress to OPPOSE the Democrats’ Triple Threat Agenda!

Every week, we are a little more surprised at the ‘woke’ and out-of-touch agenda coming out of D.C.—but this week was definitely one for the books.
Our team wanted to provide you with a short update on critical issues from D.C. that affect your values.
The Most Radical Abortion Bill Ever to Hit the House Floor
Speaker Pelosi was furious that the state of Texas passed a bill to protect babies in the womb with detectable heartbeats from abortion—and that the courts said the law could go into effect.
In retaliation, she fast-tracked her abortion-on-demand bill with radical policies that would allow abortions to be performed simply based on the baby’s sex, remove safeguards for mothers, and more.
Our Policy & Communications Strategist, Meridian Baldacci, slammed the House’s vote to pass Pelosi’s bill:
“These lawmakers shamelessly went on record that they support abortion anytime, anywhere, for any reason. They have shown a brazen willingness to endanger women, from the littlest girl in the womb to the mother who carries her….By voting for this bill today, some members have given up their seats for 2022. An increasingly pro-life America will make sure of that.”
Pelosi’s Low Opinion of the Defense of America
This week, the House voted 316-113 to pass an important piece of legislation called the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The NDAA is taken up for consideration each legislative cycle and is critical for funding America’s defenses. Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi and Democratic leadership used this bill to play politics with our nation’s defense, following the recent travesty in Afghanistan.
Using this critical bill, Democratic leadership stuffed in a number of ‘woke’ provisions that have nothing to do with the defense of America, including:·
- Drafting our daughters into war
- Funding and back-door legalization for the Big Pot industry
- Equality Act language to promote LGBT ideology
- Critical race theory promotion
FPA’s Vice President of Strategy, Autumn Leva, exposed Pelosi’s House for the low view she has for the defense of America:
“Nancy Pelosi’s priorities for defending American families boil down to funding the largely illegal and bloated Big Pot industry, drafting our daughters into war, and carrying the banner for the woke LGBT agenda. It’s a sad commentary on the low value she places on our country’s defense. America deserves better. Our families deserve better. And our troops certainly deserve better.”
FPA CEO Talks “Pelosi’s REAL War on Women” with Concerned Women for America
ICYMI: Family Policy Alliance’s CEO Craig DeRoche hosted Doreen Denny (from our friends at Concerned Women for America) to talk about Nancy Pelosi’s real war on women. In this latest episode of “Conversations with Craig,” they covered what’s really going on with forcing our daughters into the draft, Pelosi’s radical abortion bill, and more.
Standing for your values,

The House will be voting TOMORROW on Nancy Pelosi’s radical and woke bill designed to spread abortion and woke ideology across the country. And we need your help.
Tell your Representative to vote NO on Nancy Pelosi’s bill NOW: https://secure2.convio.net/cl/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&page=UserAction&id=1748
Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are on a desperate mission to codify Roe v. Wade and spread unlimited abortion across the country. But Texas dared to defy their agenda by protecting babies in the womb with detectable heartbeats. In retaliation, Biden is now suing Texas, and Pelosi is advancing her own ‘Woke Health Protection Act,’ a bill that blasphemes women’s health.
Pelosi’s bill is a radical attempt to spread abortion and woke ideology. The bill would:
- Allow a child in the womb to be killed at any point the abortionist deems appropriate
- Remove even state prohibitions on abortion committed after a child is viable outside the womb
- Remove state prohibitions on abortions committed simply because of the baby’s sex
- Remove important safety protections for mothers
- Refer to mothers as “people who are pregnant” to show her support for transgender ideology and refusal to recognize mothers and women
As if that weren’t bad enough, Speaker Pelosi fast-tracked her bill through the House process to bring it to the House floor for a full vote TOMORROW.
Family Policy Alliance is calling on lawmakers and Americans to reject this dangerous bill and to stand for our first American value—the right to life.
Will you raise your voice to call on lawmakers to reject this retaliatory and radical move by Nancy Pelosi?

P.S. Did you miss our video today?

Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats continue to push a radical agenda that will dramatically damage election accuracy and integrity.
Their latest attempt was to hold a hearing on their latest version of an election takeover bill, HR 4. Democrats are pushing this legislation so fast that the bill had not been officially introduced before the House Judiciary Committee meeting last week. Meaning, members had not even seen the text before the markup hearing started! Nonetheless, Nancy Pelosi has declared, “When the House returns on August 23rd, Democrats plan to pass H.R. 4.”
HR 4 would dramatically damage election accuracy and integrity in the following ways:
- HR 4 would give Biden’s Department of Justice the authority to veto state election reform laws.
- HR 4 would give Biden’s Department of Justice the authority to stop voter ID laws.
- HR 4 would give Biden’s Department of Justice the authority to force states to allow ballot harvesting.
- HR 4 would give Biden’s Department of Justice the authority to force states to administer mass-mailing of absentee ballots.
The House plans to vote on HR 4 TOMORROW. Please take a minute today to urge your congress member to vote NO on HR 4!
With this legislation, liberal forces in Congress are attempting to undermine the integrity of our elections – and the ability of each citizen to engage in the political process of their own government.
You can help protect the foundations of our nation by stopping this dangerous legislation! Click here to urge your Representative to stand for election integrity by OPPOSING HR 4!
