This week, the House will vote on H.R. 3, the Elijah E. Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act. This ill-conceived legislation doubles down on ineffective policies and would ultimately limit access to life-saving medicines, stifle innovation, and increase spending in the long run.

This week the House and Senate will vote on two bills that fund the government until the end of the fiscal year.

This rule will require insurance companies to provide Obamacare Exchange enrollees with a separate bill for the portion of their insurance premium that goes towards abortion coverage. Leftists will decry this rule because it creates...

The Senate voted on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (S. 3275), introduced by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and cosponsored by 47 Republicans. This legislation would protect unborn children by preventing abortions 20 weeks after fertilization, at which time scientific evidence suggests the unborn child can feel pain. A more recent study suggests the baby could potentially feel pain as early as 12 weeks.

The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S.311) would require that appropriate medical care be given to any child who survives an attempted abortion and would establish criminal penalties for health care practitioners that violate this requirement.
