Rep. Andrew Clyde
GA-09 (Republican)
Rep. Clyde has stood up against the ever-growing pro-abortion agenda of the Biden-Harris administration and the radical bureaucrats who are actively working to expand abortion access, resources and funding. Rep. Clyde has voted consistently to defend the lives of the unborn and infants. This includes stopping hard-earned tax dollars from paying for abortion, including abortion travel expenses, whether domestically or internationally, and pushing back on the Biden-Harris administration’s extreme executive actions on abortion.
Rep. Clyde led a House GOP letter to Senate GOP leadership in support of Senator Tommy Tuberville's efforts to pressure the Department of Defense to rescind its illegal and immoral abortion travel policy. He sent a letter to the Government Accountability Office Comptroller General to evaluate whether the Food and Drug Administration's reckless policy removing the in-person dispensing requirement for mifepristone is subject to review under the Congressional Review Act. At an Appropriations Committee hearing, he pushed back on Health and Human Services Secretary Becerra's request for a funding increase for Title X Family Planning, also known as Planned Parenthood's slush fund. He also pressed Attorney General Garland on the Department of Justice’s lack of response to Freedom of Information Act requests following the department's failure to protect pregnancy centers from violence. He introduced H.R. 407 – the Protect the UNBORN (Undo the Negligent Biden Orders Right Now) Act – that would undo many of the Biden-Harris administration’s radical pro-abortion executive actions. Rep. Clyde spoke on the House floor about his resolution to recognize January 22nd as the Day of Tears to honor the unborn children lost to abortion under Roe v. Wade. He also highlighted his bill, the Protect the UNBORN Act.
In a speech on the House floor, Rep. Clyde spoke out against taxpayer funding of abortion. During an
Appropriations Committee hearing, Rep. Clyde advocated for the preservation of long-standing protections against taxpayer dollars going to abortion.

Rep. Andrew Clyde
GA-09 (Republican)
Congressman Clyde has stood up against the pro-abortion agenda of the Biden-Harris administration and Pelosi Democrats who are actively working to expand abortion access and abortion funding. Rep. Clyde has voted consistently to defend the lives of the unborn and infants. This includes stopping hard-earned tax dollars from paying for abortion, whether domestically or internationally, and protecting health care provider rights for those who refuse to engage in brutal abortions.
Congressman Clyde offered a unanimous consent request for consideration of H.R. 18, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act, which would make the Hyde Amendment permanent. Rep. Clyde highlighted pro-abortion agenda behind the Equal Rights Amendment during a Committee hearing, and gave a speech defending life at a special order hour on the day of the Dobbs Supreme Court oral argument. The Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs gave the authority to enact limits on abortion to both state and federal lawmakers. Rep. Clyde is among a select group of courageous Members of Congress who quickly accepted their responsibility to protect unborn children nationally by cosponsoring the Protecting Pain-Capable Unborn Children from Late-Term Abortions Act in the fall of 2022.
