Here are just some of the disastrous executive actions taken by President Joe Biden during his first week in office where he has set a new record number of unilateral actions. Please join our email alerts to stay up to date on what you can do to stand for life, liberty, and freedom.
- Revoked the “Mexico City Policy” which does not allow foreign aid to be used to perform or promote abortion outside the United States. This literally translates into more babies lives lost to abortion. President Trump, on the other hand had expanded the policy, saving millions more than in the past.
- Called for the codification of Roe v. Wade, calling it a “foundational precedent” to which all judicial nominees should commit.
- Set in motion a review to repeal a President Trump Title X rule that demanded separation of abortion-related activities for facilities that receive federal funds. This is a most reasonable requirement, but Big Abortion’s tight grip on the Biden-Harris Administration demands that the rule be rescinded.
- He withdrew from the Geneva Consensus Declaration which declared that abortion is not an international human right and that abortion should never be promoted as a method of family planning, among other things. Simply put, the United States goes from a promoter of the sanctity of human life and protector of children to a promoter of population control through abortion.
- Restored the taxpayer funding of the United Nations Population Fund, the UN’s abortion and “family planning” agency which helped China carry out its draconian pro-abortion, anti-woman, government-controlled reproduction policies.
- Ordered a recommitment to the failed Obamacare policies of the past. Expect the harassment of religious institutions like the Little Sisters of the Poor to resume under the new administration.
- Revoked the executive order facilitating the purchase of health insurance across state lines and promoting healthy competition in healthcare markets.
- Strongly condemned the identification of the COVID-19 virus by the geographic location of its origin (i.e. China). Even as new evidence continues to point to the fact that that China was the place where it was first detected. There was no racism behind the naming of the Spanish Flu, but the anti-Trump narrative is what is driving White House policy, and the appearance must be kept alive.
- Expanded federal anti-discrimination law to include sexual orientation and gender identity, effectively erasing by executive edict, many of the protections for women and girls in federal civil rights law. This is something CWA has been fighting on behalf of women for years now.
- Reversed the ban on transgenders serving in the military, despite no compelling evidence that this would improve military readiness and performance. But only as part of the broad effort to give special rights to LGBTQ+ individuals.
- Revoked the ban on the promotion of the destructive and racist “critical race theory” in federal agencies.
- On the other hand, President Biden abolished the 1776 Commission, a wonderful, well-balance effort aimed at promoting patriotism in American education.
- Ordered the regulatory process be driven by the need to address “systemic racial inequality and the undeniable reality and accelerating threat of climate change.”
- Ended the commendable administrative PAYGO, which required the federal government to propose offsets for the costs of discretionary administrative actions, and other actions not required by a statute.
- Imposed by executive decree that it is a policy of the United States to encourage union organizing and collective bargaining.
- In that same vein, President Biden eliminates one of the most constructive advancements of the previous administration, in terms of advancing the federal workforce, a system of merit for federal employees, that promoted accountability and fruitful job performance.
- Forced face-mask-wearing on all federal property and in all federal buildings, as well as on all interstate transportation.
- He is also rejoining the World Health Organization (WHO), who has been implicated in the mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic and unethical coordination with Communist government in China.
- Is making climate-related challenges one of the number one focus of government, seeking “environmental justice” and demanding Americans “make better choices” in seeking jobs.
- That is why President Biden has also put a hold on any new oil and natural gas leases on public lands or in offshore waters.
- He has brought devastation to thousands of families by pulling the permit for the Keystone Pipeline.
- He also created a Climate Policy Office in the Executive Office of the President, that will have the same rank and authorities as the National Security Advisor—think about that. While also, creating a White House Environmental Justice Interagency Council.
- He is demanding federal agencies prioritize the “climate crisis” in their procurements and constructions with emphasis on sustaining and creating union jobs.
- Internationally, he rejoined the imbalanced Paris Climate Accord.
- Halted all deportations of illegal immigrants for 100 days.
- Stopped the construction of the southern border wall in contravention of current law. Also, terminating the declared national emergency there.
- He also ordered that the census-based apportionment of congressional districts include illegal aliens.
