U.S. Rep. John Rose Demands Biden Rescind Undemocratic and Unconstitutional Abortion Executive Order
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, U.S. Rep. John Rose joined a letter led by Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) with 55 Republican Members of Congress to President Biden, urging him to rescind his recent Executive Order aimed at "protecting access" to abortion in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision.
In the letter, the Members describe President Biden's Executive Order as "a direct affront to this nation's democratic process and a blatant disrespect for the sanctity of the Supreme Court."
The full text of the letter is available here.
Rep. John Rose released the following statement:
"President Biden has caved to the left-wing extremists that support abortion up until the moment of birth and is now going against his oath of office by directly undermining the law of the land. Meanwhile, pregnancy centers and churches are under vicious attacks by the left. What has the President done to protect them? The President needs to stop putting partisan, left-wing politics before his oath to uphold our country's laws—not undermine them," said Rep. John Rose (TN-06).
Rep. Andrew Clyde, who led the letter, released the following statement:
"Instead of upholding both our Republic's democratic process and the integrity of our nation's highest court, President Biden is intent on advancing the evils of abortion through executive action," said Rep. Clyde. "Subverting the will of the American people and circumventing the Constitution in order to advance the murder of innocent unborn babies is truly unconscionable. President Biden must immediately rescind his latest attack on the sanctity of life, refrain from taking further action that undermines American voters, and respect the Supreme Court's decision."
