Rep. Matt Rosendale

MT-2 (Republican)

Rep. Rosendale 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. Rosendale 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.

In multiple speeches on the House floor, Rep. Rosendale called out the Department of Defense’s illegal and immoral abortion travel policy. In a markup of H.R. 562, the Improving Veterans Access to Congressional Services Act of 2023, he spoke out against the Department of Veterans Affairs’ illegal policy funding abortion. Rep. Rosendale also questioned Undersecretary for Health Dr. Shereef Elnahal about the illegal abortion policy, the cost of the policy to taxpayers, and what conscience protections exist for healthcare providers. He sent a letter to Dr. Elnahal opposing the rule.
