Today I rise to be able to mark the fourth anniversary of the Dobbs decision, a decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and returned the issue of abortion, and when life begins and who we’re going to be as a people on this issue of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, back to the elected representatives from states and to the people.

Hyde was a bipartisan agreement five decades ago, and it has been included in appropriations bills every year since. We should keep that commitment in place.
Now, Democrats are committed to finding every way they can to increase the number of abortions in America, including having federal taxpayers pay for elective abortions.
Planned Parenthood and its affiliates have faced serious allegations involving the use of federal funds and compliance with federal law. Those allegations deserve a thorough review.
Congress has taken action to ensure taxpayer dollars are not funding organizations that perform abortions, but our work to protect taxpayers and ensure federal law is followed does not stop there," said Lankford.
