As your Senator, I have and will continue to protect unborn children by opposing any legislation that would expand the practice of abortion or allow your tax dollars to pay for the murder of an unborn child.
Continue to protect unborn children by opposing abortion-expanding legislation and taxpayer funding for abortion.
Occurrences
Evidence
On the Senate cloture vote for H.R. 3755, the Women’s Health Protection Act, Bill Cassidy voted Nay. The measure was described as a bill to protect abortion access and failed 46-48.
On amendment S.Amdt. 3967, which sought to prohibit federal funds from being made available to a prohibited entity, Bill Cassidy voted Yea. The amendment failed 45-48.
On the motion to proceed to S.J.Res. 10, a resolution to disapprove the VA reproductive-health-services rule, Bill Cassidy voted Yea. The motion was rejected 48-51.
Cassidy joined Senate colleagues in introducing legislation to make permanent a government-wide prohibition on taxpayer funding for abortion and to bar abortion coverage using federal funds.
Assessments
Cassidy fulfilled the promise in federal office by repeatedly voting against abortion-expanding measures and taxpayer-funded abortion-related policies, including opposing the Women’s Health Protection Act cloture vote in 2022 and supporting amendments/legislation to restrict federal funding for abortion. Because the promise was framed as continued opposition rather than securing final enactment of a new law, documented votes and sponsorship activity during his Senate service are sufficient for delivery.
