House lawmakers will vote Wednesday on a pair of abortion-related measures that would condemn the recent attacks on pro-life facilities and churches as well as protect infants born alive in failed abortion procedures.

Republicans are urging their members to vote for both bills, while Democrats are telling their members to vote against both measures.

Rep. Mike Johnson, Louisiana Republican, introduced a resolution listing the attacks on crisis pregnancy centers since someone leaked the May 2 Supreme Court draft opinion in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case that led to the high court’s June 24 decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

“The Biden administration has failed to take action to respond to the radical attacks on pro-life facilities, groups and churches, or to protect the rights of these organizations; and these attacks on pro-life facilities, groups and churches have included vandalism, arson, incendiary graffiti and other damage,” the resolution states before condemning the attacks and recognizing the “sanctity of life and the important role of pro-life facilities, groups and churches.”

The resolution goes on to say the House “calls upon the Biden administration to use all appropriate law enforcement authorities to uphold public safety and to protect the rights of pro-life facilities, groups and churches.”
