House Republicans Endorse National
Abortion Ban
Mar 21
A caucus representing most House
Republican lawmakers endorsed a
15-week national abortion ban on
Wednesday. The announcement came
one day after former President
Donald Trump indicated that he
could support a 15-week abortion
ban.
The Republican Study Committee
(RSC), which includes nearly 80
percent of all House Republicans,
released its 2025 budget proposal
on Wednesday, titled “Fiscal
Sanity to Save America.” Despite
being billed as a budget plan,
it is a highly ideological document.
“The gift of life is precious and
should be protected,” the document
states, adding that the “RSC
celebrates the Dobbs v. Jackson
Women’s Health Organization
decision.” In that case, the
Supreme Court overturned federal
protections for abortion rights,
using the 6-3 conservative
supermajority that Trump helped
create.
The RSC document goes further:
It endorses a 15-week national
abortion ban, as well as
legislation that could eliminate
access to in vitro fertilization,
or IVF. In an email to reporters
Wednesday night, the Biden White
House tied the document to Trump,
saying that the “Trump Republican
budget would ban abortion nationwide
[and] rip away IVF access.”
