Title

Lawmaker Position

H.R. 2872House 2023-20242x

Maintaining Fiscal Irresponsibility through the "Further Additional Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act, 2024" that Fails to Include a Critical Border Security Provision.

Against CEA
The "Further Additional Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act, 2024" would avoid a shutdown by extending government funding through either March 1 or March 8, 2024 depending upon agency. Notably, the bill does not contain border security provisions advocated by conservatives.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Luke 14:28-30 – "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?"
Leadership Insight
Vision must meet calculation. God honors leaders who count costs before claiming promises. Stewardship without foresight breeds collapse.
H.R. 6914House 2023-20242x

Encouraging Pregnant College Students to Choose Life over Abortion by Providing them a List of Available Resources through the "Pregnant Students' Rights Act".

Against CEA
The "Pregnant Students' Rights Act" sponsored by Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) would require colleges and universities to inform pregnant students of their rights and of the resources available on campus to help pregnant students carry a baby to term. This includes a list of community and on-campus resources that exist and information about accommodations available for pregnant students leading up to and after birth.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Psalm 139:13-16 – "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
Leadership Insight
David's declaration that God forms life in the womb is foundational to healthcare freedom. Medical professionals who believe life is sacred from conception must be free to practice medicine without being forced to participate in abortion or life-ending procedures. Healthcare freedom protects providers, hospitals, and insurers from government mandates that require complicity in ending the lives God is authoring. Conscience protection is healthcare freedom.
H.R. 8070 (Van Duyne Amd. 55)House 2023-20242x

Protecting the Sanctity of Life by Prohibiting Taxpayer Funds for PTO, Lodging or Travel Expenses for Elective Abortions.

Neutral
The Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) amendment #55 to the "Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025" would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from paying for or reimbursing expenses relating to abortion services. According to the sponsor, "in 2022, President Biden issued new Department of Defense policy using taxpayer dollars to fund time off, lodging, and travel expenses for elective abortions" and this amendment "will stop this unlawful practice and return to the Hyde protections codified in law".
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Psalm 139:13-16 – "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
Leadership Insight
David declares that God forms every person in the womb - a truth that shapes First Freedom's protection of religious pro-life conviction. Believers who hold that life begins at conception must be free to operate hospitals, businesses, and ministries according to this conviction. First Freedom protects religious organizations from being forced to fund, perform, or participate in abortion against their sincere belief that God is the Author of life from conception.
