Congressman David Rouzer (NC-07) released the following statement on the passage of H.R. 3755, legislation to preempt almost all state and federal restrictions on abortions:

“It is our moral obligation to fight for and protect the lives of those who cannot speak for themselves – the lives of those who are no different than our own.  I strongly oppose the extreme abortion bill brought to the House floor today that allows abortion for any reason, at any stage of pregnancy, even until right before birth.  This bill removes commonsense protections for women and children, overrides most state and federal pro-life laws, and prioritizes the agenda of the abortion industry.  I’m proud to uphold the value of every life and will continue fighting to protect the most vulnerable among us.”

Background:

• H.R. 3755 overrides pro-life laws and prohibits states from enacting legislation that protects unborn children.
  
  
• It removes commonsense protections for women and children like ensuring parental involvement for minors and protecting women from coercion.
  
  
• It allows for discriminatory abortions on the basis of a baby’s sex, race, and disability.
