Legislative Activity

The Life at Conception Act declares that the constitutional right to life begins at the moment of fertilization, defining all human beings as persons from that point forward. The bill establishes legal personhood for every member of the species *homo sapiens* at all stages of development. Additionally, it explicitly prohibits the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child.

The Teleabortion Prevention Act of 2025 would make it a federal crime for healthcare providers to dispense or prescribe abortion drugs without being physically present for the patient's examination and follow-up care. The bill includes exceptions for life-threatening medical emergencies and the treatment of ectopic pregnancies, while explicitly granting immunity from prosecution to patients.

The "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act" ensures that infants born alive after an abortion receive the same medical care as any other newborn, mandating immediate hospitalization and requiring healthcare practitioners to report any failures to comply. Violators face fines, imprisonment, and potential prosecution for homicide or attempted homicide, while the mother of the child cannot be prosecuted. The bill also allows the woman who had the abortion to file a civil action against anyone who violated the act. It defines abortion and attempts at abortion, and renames "Partial-Birth Abortions" to "Abortions" in relevant sections of the U.S. Code.

The Heartbeat Protection Act of 2025 prohibits physicians from performing an abortion if a fetal heartbeat is detectable, subject to specific exceptions for medical emergencies, rape, and incest. Physicians who knowingly violate this federal law face potential fines and imprisonment, though the legislation explicitly protects the mother from prosecution. The bill also mandates strict documentation and record-keeping requirements for all heartbeat determinations and exception claims.

This bill seeks to nullify the Food and Drug Administration’s January 2023 modifications to the risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) for the abortion medication mifepristone. Additionally, it prohibits the Secretary of Health and Human Services from implementing any future safety requirements that are substantially similar to those nullified changes.

The **End Unaccountable Amnesty Act** seeks to restrict executive authority over immigration by shifting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and parole designations to congressional oversight. The bill also tightens eligibility for unaccompanied minors, repeals "cancellation of removal" as a form of immigration relief, and prohibits the use of certain DHS-issued documents for air travel. Additionally, it imposes strict annual caps on parole grants and mandates the removal of sponsors who are unlawfully present in the United States.

The National Constitutional Carry Act seeks to protect the Second Amendment right of law-abiding citizens to carry firearms in public for self-defense. The bill prohibits state and local governments from imposing criminal or civil penalties on individuals who are legally eligible to possess firearms. By overriding restrictive local regulations, the legislation aims to ensure a uniform standard for the right to bear arms across the United States.

The Main Street Tax Certainty Act makes the 20% pass-through business income deduction permanent. By removing the current 2025 expiration date, this legislation ensures long-term tax relief for owners of qualified pass-through entities.

The "No Taxpayer Funding for the U.N. Population Fund Act" prohibits all federal departments and agencies from providing direct or indirect financial contributions to the United Nations Population Fund. This legislation ensures that no U.S. taxpayer dollars are used to support the organization.

This resolution formally expresses the House of Representatives' support for the "Day of Tears" to mourn the estimated 62 million unborn lives lost since 1973. It encourages the lowering of United States flags to half-staff on January 22nd each year to honor these lives. Furthermore, the resolution urges state legislatures to pass laws affirming the sanctity of life and improving abortion data collection.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to fix the number of Supreme Court justices at nine. For this amendment to be valid, three-fourths of the state legislatures must ratify it within seven years of its submission.

The Ending Chemical Abortions Act of 2025 seeks to prohibit the prescription, distribution, and sale of drugs intended to cause an abortion. The bill establishes federal criminal penalties for violations, while providing specific exceptions for contraception, the treatment of miscarriages, and medical emergencies that threaten the life of the mother. It also clarifies that women who undergo chemical abortions are exempt from criminal prosecution under this act.

The Ensuring Accurate and Complete Abortion Data Reporting Act of 2025 mandates that states submit standardized abortion data to the CDC to maintain eligibility for specific federal Medicaid family planning funds. The bill directs the CDC to establish a national surveillance system to collect and report this data, including information on maternal demographics, procedure details, and abortion survival outcomes. By requiring accurate and consistent reporting, the legislation aims to improve the quality of public health data available for policy analysis.

The Protecting Life on College Campus Act of 2025 prohibits federal funding for any institution of higher education that hosts or is affiliated with campus-based clinics providing abortions or abortion-inducing drugs. To remain eligible for federal support, institutions must submit an annual certification confirming their compliance with these restrictions.

The Reining In Federal Licensing Enforcement (RIFLE) Act of 2025 reforms the federal firearms licensing system by establishing a graduated penalty structure that distinguishes between unintentional and willful violations. The bill mandates increased procedural protections for licensees, including expanded notice requirements, opportunities to cure violations, and the right to formal administrative hearings and judicial review. Additionally, it sets stricter standards for proving "willful" violations, provides a 90-day window for inventory liquidation upon license termination, and requires the Attorney General to establish formal, public standards for inspections and enforcement actions.

The "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2025" seeks to prohibit the use of federal funds for abortions and for health plans that cover abortions, while allowing individuals and entities to purchase separate abortion coverage with non-federal funds. It clarifies that premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) cannot be used for health plans that include abortion coverage. The Act also revises notice requirements for health plans, mandating clear disclosure of abortion coverage and any associated premium surcharges to enrollees. Exceptions to the funding restrictions are included for cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is in danger.

The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025 proposes to limit automatic birthright citizenship to children born in the United States who have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or an alien serving in the U.S. armed forces. This legislation would exclude children born to parents without legal status or those on temporary visas from receiving automatic citizenship. These changes would apply only to individuals born on or after the date of the Act's enactment.

The "No Retaining Every Gun In a System That Restricts Your Rights Act" mandates the destruction of all firearm transaction records currently held by the ATF from discontinued businesses. Furthermore, it amends federal law to prohibit the future collection and transfer of these records to the government when a firearms business ceases operations. The bill also requires the ATF to submit a formal report to Congress confirming the number of records destroyed.

The "Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act" amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to deem aliens inadmissible and deportable if they have committed or admitted to acts constituting sex offenses, domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, or violating protection orders. It broadens the definition of crimes against children to include any crime constituting domestic violence.

The SHOW UP Act of 2025 requires executive agencies to revert their telework policies to pre-pandemic levels by December 31, 2019. Any future expansion of telework must be supported by a comprehensive impact study and certified by the Office of Personnel Management to ensure it improves mission performance and reduces agency costs.
