Congressman Aderholt says this proposed legislation \u201cplaces the United States on a shortlist with North Korea and China as countries with the most extreme abortion policies in the world.\u201d\n\nMadam Speaker:\n\nI rise today in strong opposition to this piece of legislation.\n\nThe legislation we\u2019re considering today doesn\u2019t just reverse the Supreme Court\u2019s recent decision to protect life, it goes even further than Roe v. Wade.\n\nMy colleagues on the other side of the aisle assembled this bundle of policies in an effort to inhibit and undermine the enforcement of pro-life state laws.\n\nThis bill, in combination with the so-called Women\u2019s Health Protection Act, seeks to undermine the will of the people, and places the United States on a shortlist with North Korea and China as countries with the most extreme abortion policies in the world.\n\nInstead of inhibiting, we should be enabling the states that have chosen to extend the responsibility of protecting its citizens to also include the unborn.\n\nThe Alabama legislature enacted the Human Life Protection Act in 2019, reflecting the will of the citizens of the state. The bill imposed a near total ban on abortions in the state. I will not allow those voices to be silenced by radical federal abortion bills.\n\nI urge my colleagues to oppose this measure, and all of the extreme measures yet to come attacking the most vulnerable.\n\nI yield back.\n\nPress Releases\n\nSocial Media\n\nVideos\n\nIn the News\n\nStay In The Know About My Office In Washington, D.C.\n\nEnter your email and click submit to receive email alerts from Robert.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:49:02Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://aderholt.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-aderholt-delivers-comments-house-democrats-radical-abortion"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6123950481414795, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
