Pro-Life and Conservative Values

Congressman Lamborn's legislative record reflects his unwavering dedication to protecting the sanctity of human life, from the unborn to the elderly, the terminally ill, and all whose lives are threatened by euthanasia.

Congressman Lamborn has sponsored or cosponsored over 50 pro-life bills since his election to Congress. In fact, Congressman Lamborn introduced the H.R.983 Second Chance at Life Act as his first bill in the 118th Congress. This bill provides the ability for a woman taking the oral abortifacients education on the reversal ability and support should she choose to reverse the abortion before the second medication.

Congressman Lamborn is continuing to support life through support of adoption practices. He is co-leading Baby Brokers bill, a bi-partisan bill to criminalize tactics of advertising adoption practices while agencies are not licensed in the state of the birth mother. Congressman Lamborn is also a co-sponsor of H.R.1475 - Hospital Adoption Education Act which instructs Health and Human Services to develop education for health care workers to improve their awareness and understanding of adoption. Finally, Congressman Lamborn is leading on H.R. 5540 to instruct the Department of Health and Human Services to maintain lists of licensed agencies and collect important data on children who are being adopted in the states.

To further his efforts to protect our core conservative family values, Congressman Lamborn is an active member of the Republican Study Committee, a Congressional organization committed to conservative principles in government.

Religious Liberty

The First Amendment in the Bill of Rights states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Despite the cultural shift away from religion, religious organizations and individuals deserve to freely worship and live out their faith.

A member of the Constitution Caucus, Congressman Lamborn believes that the Constitution specifically protects the freedom of American citizens to openly practice and celebrate religion. The purpose of the Constitution and First Amendment was not to defend government from religion but rather to defend religion from interference by government.

Around the world, Christians are being persecuted, and Congressman Lamborn stands by their right to assemble and practice their faith. As such, he is co-sponsoring H.Res.82 - Expressing the sense of Congress regarding the need to designate Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern for engaging in and tolerating systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom as Christians there are dying daily. He has signed onto numerous pieces of legislation and letters protecting religious freedoms and the rights of conscience.
