FRC Action focused on the following federal legislative votes: 

  1. No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act Sponsored by Chris Smith (R-N.J.) and Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.), the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2017 (H.R. 7) would permanently codify the Hyde Amendment across government programs to provide federal funds from paying for elective abortion and health care plans that include elective abortion coverage. (Passed 01/24/2017, 238 yeas to 183 nays, Roll Call No. 65) FRC Action Supported this Bill. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2017/roll065.xml
  2. Resolution of Disapproval to Overturn Obama’s HHS Title X Rule Sponsored by Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.), this resolution of disapproval (H.J. Res. 43) overturned former President Barack Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services rule, finalized in December 2016, that prevented states from redirecting Title X family planning funds away from abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. (Passed 02/16/2017, 230 yeas to 188 nays, Roll Call No. 99) FRC Action Supported this Resolution. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2017/roll099.xml
  3. Obamacare Repeal and Replace Sponsored by Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.), the American Health Care Act of 2017 (H.R. 1628) would repeal the major pillars of Obamacare, with its taxpayer funding of elective abortion, and replace it with legislation that respects the fundamental federal policy that abortion is not health care and provides better health insurance solutions for families than Obamacare. This bill would also eliminate mandatory federal funding for certain large abortion providers like Planned Parenthood for one year. (Passed 05/04/2017, 217 yeas to 213 nays, Roll Call No. 256) FRC Action Supported this Bill. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2017/roll256.xml
  4. Amendment to Stop DOD Transgender Funding Offered by Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.), this amendment (H.Amdt 183) to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (H.R. 2810) would have ensured that taxpayer funding for the Department of Defense not pay for sex-reassignment surgery and hormone therapy intended to change a person’s gender. This Amendment would have provided for mental health treatment for transgender persons, as well as healthcare unassociated with gender transition efforts. (Failed 07/13/2017, 209 yeas to 214 nays, Roll Call No. 369) * Brian Mast (R-Fla.) voted against the amendment in error, and submitted a statement for the record regarding his support for the amendment. FRC Action Supported this Amendment. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2017/roll369.xml 115th Congress 1st Session Scorecard Summaries HOUSE
  5. Amendment to Undermine Congressional Authority Over D.C. Budget Offered by Rep. Eleanor Norton (R-D.C.), this amendment (H.Amdt. 434) to the Make America Secure and Prosperous Appropriations Act, 2018 (H.R. 3354) would have protected D.C.’s 2013 referendum on budget autonomy, which would have allowed D.C. to use taxpayer money to pay for elective abortions, legalize recreational marijuana, and cover drug needle-exchanges, among other things, in violation of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. (Failed 07/06/2017, 182 yeas to 238 nays, Roll Call No. 496) FRC Action Opposed this Amendment. http://clerk.house.gov/cgi-bin/vote.asp?year=2017&rollnumber=496
  6. Amendment to Stop D.C.’s Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Act Offered by Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Ala.), this amendment (H.Amdt. 432) to the Make America Secure and Prosperous Appropriations Act, 2018 (H.R. 3354) would block D.C. from enforcing its harmful law called the Reproductive Health NonDiscrimination Amendment Act, which targets pro-life organizations and employers by forcing them to employ people who disagree with their pro-life principles. (Passed 07/07/2017, 223 yeas to 192 nays, Roll Call No. 518) FRC Action Supported this Amendment. http://clerk.house.gov/cgi-bin/vote.asp?year=2017&rollnumber=518
  7. Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act Sponsored by Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 36) would outlaw elective abortion nationwide after 20 weeks gestation, the point at which an unborn baby possesses the ability to experience severe pain. (Passed 10/03/2017, 237 yeas to 189 nays, Roll Call No. 549) FRC Action Supported this Bill. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2017/roll549.xml
  8. IPAB Repeal Sponsored by Rep. David Roe (R-Tenn.), the Protecting Seniors Access to Medicare Act of 2017 (H.R. 849) would repeal the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) created by Obamacare. IPAB represents the wrong way to control health care costs and will result in government healthcare rationing. (Passed 11/02/2017, 307 yeas to 111 nays, Roll Call No. 604) FRC Action Supported this Bill. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2017/roll604.xml
  9. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Sponsored by Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas), the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R. 1) would roll back the Johnson Amendment, increase the Child Tax Credit, eliminate numerous marriage penalties from the tax code, repeal the death tax, and allow unborn children to qualify for 529 education savings accounts. (Passed 11/16/2017, 227 yeas to 205 nays, Roll Call No. 637) FRC Action Supported this Bill. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2017/roll637.xml

Both U.S. Senators from Illinois – Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth – voted according to FRCAction's position 0% of the time.
