As your Congressman, Andrew will always work to protect the lives of our nation's innocent unborn.
Work to protect the lives of unborn children.
Occurrences
Evidence
Clyde’s official House issue page says he is committed to opposing taxpayer funding for abortion and doing everything in his capacity to protect life, stating that abortions should be abolished except when the mother’s life is at risk.
In House remarks, Clyde said he was speaking on behalf of the nation’s unborn children and described their heartbeats as proof of life.
Clyde said he has always been a strong defender of the sanctity of life and that he stands in strong opposition to abortion-on-demand legislation.
Congress.gov lists Clyde as a cosponsor of H.R. 729, the Teleabortion Prevention Act of 2025, which was introduced in the House and referred to committee.
On final passage of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, the House passed the bill and Clyde voted yea.
On the motion to recommit the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, Clyde voted nay; the motion failed and the underlying pro-life bill remained blocked at that stage.
Assessments
Clyde made the promised pro-life position part of his official House work during the term following the 2020 federal campaign: he issued official statements opposing abortion-expansion legislation, made floor remarks on unborn children, and later supported or cosponsored abortion-restriction measures. However, the evidence does not show that he personally delivered a completed federal policy outcome protecting unborn children during the same term; later bills either only passed the House or remained in committee. Because the promise was phrased as 'work to protect' rather than guaranteeing enactment, these actions merit partial credit rather than a finding of no effort or full delivery.
