State sovereignty, national union
Advisory Committee on the Records of Congress Sunset Act
The bill increases oversight and long‑term preservation of congressional records through required reviews and reporting, at the cost of modest recurring administrative burdens and potential legal transition complexities for federal agencies.
Stop Child Care Scams Act of 2026
The bill strengthens oversight, fraud detection, and enforcement to reduce improper payments and protect program integrity—benefiting taxpayers and improving child safety—but it raises administrative costs and enforcement risks that could reduce provider participation and disrupt access to subsidized child care for families, especially in small or low-capacity states.
Less Bureaucracy, Better Family Engagement Act
The bill preserves continuity of education-related programs and protections by moving them into HHS to avoid service and funding interruptions, at the cost of short-term administrative disruption, possible shifts away from education-focused priorities, legal ambiguity, and transitional budget/accounting constraints.
In God We Trust Act
The bill increases the visible presence of the national motto in federal buildings—boosting civic symbolism and creating modest short-term contracting work—while imposing modest costs on taxpayers and administrative burden on federal facility managers.
Parental Notification and Intervention Act of 2025
The bill increases parental notification, involvement, and legal enforcement for unemancipated minors seeking abortion while preserving a narrow emergency exception and state authority, but it also creates delays, legal burdens, confidentiality risks, and criminal penalties that may reduce access and put some minors at increased risk.
Clean Water for All Life Act
The bill increases in-person clinical oversight and waste-safety for chemical abortion care but does so by restricting telemedicine-based medication abortion and imposing broad criminal and legal risks that will raise costs, reduce provider participation, and likely expand federal enforcement.
Dignity for Aborted Children Act
The bill preserves individual choice over fetal-tissue disposition and creates uniform federal reporting useful for policy, but pairs those benefits with strict disposal and documentation mandates carrying heavy penalties, privacy risks, and increased compliance costs that could deter providers and reduce access.
Ultrasounds Save Lives Act of 2025
The bill standardizes informed consent and preserves emergency exceptions, but imposes heavy legal, financial, privacy, and procedural burdens that are likely to delay care and substantially reduce access to abortion services.
Second Chance for Moms Act
The bill creates a federally run hotline and mandated labeling intended to increase post-mifepristone support and information, but it risks substituting congressional claims for FDA science, creating medical confusion, narrowing referral choices, and imposing costs on manufacturers and taxpayers.
Pregnancy Is Not an Illness Act of 2025
This bill seeks to void certain FDA approvals tied to treating pregnancy as an illness — which would curb access to medication abortion and create significant health, cost, legal, and supply-chain harms for patients and providers, while offering limited, primarily ideological benefits to those who oppose abortion.
