Barry Moore (AL-02) issued the following statement after voting against H.R. 3755, the Abortion on Demand Until Birth Act:\n\n\u201cDemocrats\u2019 determination to terminate innocent human life is beyond the pale. This life-killing legislation legalizes abortion on demand, opening the floodgates to killing millions of infant lives - all worthy of saving,\u201d said Moore. \u201cTrampling over state laws, this bill overturns nearly every pro-life protection that Alabama has in place, including current safeguards for any baby determined to be viable. At the time of viability testing, babies have a heartbeat, all their major organs, and can even feel pain. Yet under the Abortion on Demand Until Birth Act, none of these protections would stay in place to save unborn Alabamians. As an unapologetic pro-life conservative, I will never stop fighting Democrats\u2019 radical attacks to undermine the sanctity of life.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nH.R. 3755 codifies the right to abortion up to the birth of the baby in federal law and prevents states from enforcing current laws that protect the unborn.\n\nSpecifically, this legislation:\n\n\u25cf Legalizes abortions on demand until birth;\n\n\u25cf Eliminates nearly all pro-life policies;\n\n\u25cf Jeopardizes ultrasound and fetal heartbeat tests, mandatory reflection periods, and parental notification requirements;\n\n\u25cf Blocks states\u2019 abilities to enact pain-capable laws at 20-weeks of pregnancy;\n\n\u25cf Forces state governments that lose legal fights to uphold pro-life laws to pay litigation costs and \u201creasonable attorney fees\u201d to the pro-abortion plaintiffs;\n\n\u25cf Threatens the jobs of medical professionals who conscientiously oppose abortion, as well as public funding for faith-based facilities.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:17:01Z"]], "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://barrymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-barry-moore-condemns-democrats-life-killing-legislation"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8910861797630787, "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"}
