House GOP Plans Pregnancy-Related Bills Before Roe Anniversary

• If the Dobbs decision showed us anything, it’s that the end of Roe was only the beginning of efforts to protect the unborn. 
• This year’s March for Life theme, “Pro-Life: With Every Woman, For Every Child,” reminds us that our movement cares deeply about babies and their mothers.
• The stakes are high. Two major Supreme Court cases will address dangerous mail-order chemical abortion pills and whether the Biden administration can force pro-life ER doctors to perform abortions in violation of their conscience.
• Many states now protect unborn life, but other states—and President Biden and the radical Left in Congress—are pursuing a destructive agenda of abortion-on-demand through all nine months of pregnancy, paid for by taxpayers.

As Debt Skyrockets, House Eyes New Budget Deal With Negligible Cuts

• House and Senate leadership have tentatively struck a deal to extend government funding through the first and second week of March, averting a government shutdown. Speaker Johnson is holding firm to the spending topline he negotiated with Sen. Schumer and announced earlier in March.
• All in all, Speaker Johnson’s "deal" would increase spending by at least $29 billion, to $1.659 trillion, and formalize an increase to routine discretionary spending of $57 billion. Even a long-term continuing resolution would save more money, especially with the automatic cuts that the Fiscal Responsibility Act would implement.
• Speaker Johnson’s plan – negotiated and agreed to by Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries – would raise spending without securing the border, which is a loss for the American people. 
• Higher prices and the current surge in interest rates (such as mortgage rates) are driven by runaway government spending. This budget deal doesn’t do anything to fix those issues. 
• In 2023, the federal government spent an astonishing $50,000 per household. Instead of fighting for Congress to get a handle on its spending addiction, leadership is using budget gimmicks to claim that it has made cuts, and kicking the can down the road yet again.

Will Education Choice Momentum Continue in 2024?

• National School Choice Week begins on Sunday, and there’s much to celebrate this year. 
• In 2023, the school choice movement made more progress in expanding education options than ever before.
• The Year of Education Freedom saw seven states pass new education choice policies and nine states expand existing choice policies. There are now nine states with universal education choice policies that offer education savings accounts or ESA-style options to every K-12 student in the state.
• In 2024, that momentum is likely to continue as several states gear up to pass new or expanded education choice policies.
