Speaker Johnson 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. Speaker Johnson 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.

Speaker Johnson introduced a resolution condemning the attacks on pro-life facilities, groups, and churches and spoke on the House floor in support of this resolution. He introduced H.R. 792, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, that would make it a crime to transport a minor across state lines for an abortion without parental involvement and make it a crime for a physician to perform or induce an abortion without notifying an out-of-state minor's parent. He gave a speech in favor of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (H.R. 26), which would require health care practitioners to provide the same degree of care to a child born alive following an abortion as would be provided to any other child born at the same gestational age. Speaker Johnson also gave a speech on the House floor in opposition to the Democrats’ pro-abortion procedural motion to allow the Department of Defense’s illegal and immoral abortion travel policy. He called out the politicized Department of Justice that refuses to prosecute the violent attacks on pregnancy centers while simultaneously suing states like Texas for their pro-life laws. In a Judiciary Committee markup adopting the committee's oversight plan, Speaker Johnson spoke against taxpayer funding of abortion, emphasizing that the majority of Americans strongly oppose such funding. In a hearing, Speaker Johnson called attention to the numerous attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers and churches. He pressed National Abortion Federation’s chief legal strategist Talcott Camp to name any restrictions on abortion she supports. He later sent a letter asking Ms. Camp to amend her testimony before Congress after her statement in the hearing conflicted with previous public statements she had made about crushing an unborn child's skull during abortion. In a markup of the Committee on the Judiciary Authorization and Oversight Plan for the 118th Congress, Speaker Johnson spoke in favor of the Dobbs decision, advocated for the right to life, and honored the over 60 million lives lost to abortion in the past 50 years. Speaker Johnson worked to ensure that the House passed H.R. 6918, the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act, which would stop the Biden-Harris administration’s policy stripping Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funding from pregnancy centers, and H.R. 6914, the Pregnant Students’ Rights Act, which would ensure students at colleges and universities are made aware of the rights and resources available to pregnant and parenting students.

Johnson has voted consistently to defend the lives of the unborn and infants.

Congressman Johnson introduced H.R. 2223, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act (CIANA), to protect minors from being transported across state lines to obtain an abortion without parental involvement. He also co-led a letter urging the Small Business Administration to exclude abortion providers from subsidies in the form of forgivable loans during the pandemic. Rep. Johnson 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. Johnson offered an amendment in a Judiciary Committee markup to make permanent a ban on taxpayer funding of abortion. He spoke in defense of life and condemned abortion extremism during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Texas Heartbeat Act. Additionally, Rep. Johnson led a pro-life special-order hour exposing the so-called Women's Health Protection Act, which would overturn federal and state pro-life laws. He led a letter to the House Chief Administrative Officer urging termination of a contract with a banking institution that announced it would now provide abortion-related travel benefits, and co-led a Congressional letter to Attorney General Garland demanding the newly formed Domestic Terrorism Unit at the Department of Justice to investigate targeted violence against pro-life groups and pregnancy centers. Rep. Johnson introduced H.Res. 1233, a resolution condemning the violent and intimidating tactics of radical pro-abortion activists against pro-life facilities, groups, and churches. He offered a pro-life procedural motion to protect minors from being taken across state lines for abortions without parental consent and introduced H.R. 8362, the Unborn Child Support Act. He participated in a pro-life special order on the House floor for the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, and gave remarks at a Judiciary Committee hearing on the impact of the Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v. JWHO which overturned Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs gave the authority to enact limits on abortion to both state and federal lawmakers. Rep.
