Protecting the Right to Life

This week the Supreme Court began hearing arguments in a major pro-life case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Specifically, the court will consider upholding Mississippi’s law banning abortion after 15 weeks. The science is clear, an unborn baby is a human!

• At 5 weeks unborn babies have a heartbeat
• At 10 weeks they have arms, legs, fingers and toes
• At 15 weeks they have fully developed hearts, lips, noses, and can feel pain

That’s why I signed onto an amicus brief in July that supports Mississippi’s law and protects states’ right to uphold the sanctity of life.

Meeting with the Society for Human Resource Management

I had the opportunity to meet with members of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) to discuss how we can help employers by simplifying reporting requirements to the IRS. As Lead Republican on the Education and Labor’s Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Subcommittee, one of my priorities is ensuring federal policies help both job creators and workers, not create more burdens.

President Biden and Congressional Democrats have created crisis after crisis. Rather than secure our border, address rising prices and inflation, or fix our supply chain, they have been focused on increasing reckless spending that will only make these crises worse. In the process, Democrats have neglected to finish the appropriations bills. That’s why this week, they passed a continuing resolution to essentially give them a hall pass for their irresponsible budget process. This continuing resolution will delay any meaningful consideration on our spending, kicking the can further down the road until February 18, 2022.

Additionally, continuing resolutions have a history of negatively impacting military training, readiness, equipment, and personnel. We must get back to regular order and pass fiscally responsible funding measures that will get our nation back on the road toward prosperity.
