WASHINGTON, July 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Family Research Council Action (FRC Action), the
legislative arm of Family Research Council, today released its 2023
Vote Scorecard and announced its One Hundred Percent Award
winners. The annual award recognizes the members of Congress who
displayed unwavering commitment to and support of faith, family,
and freedom. In total, 69 U.S. representatives and five U.S.
senators scored a perfect 100 percent for votes cast in 2023.
FRC Action Chairman Tony Perkins
made the following comments:
"As Congress continues to fight for the rights of all, including
the unborn in this post-Roe nation, there is still much
to celebrate, especially for members who have consistently—and
repeatedly—stood for life in the face of a pro-abortion mob bent on
intimidating Americans into their way of thinking.
"We thank these members of Congress for defending faith, family,
and freedom with their votes and voices of leadership. The senators
who scored a perfect 100 percent on our scorecard voted to defend
life in all sectors of our federal government and stood strong
against efforts to remove the deadline for ratification of the
Equal Rights Amendment, which would have cleared the way for
forcing taxpayers to subsidize abortion on demand. These senators
also helped curb the promotion of abortion and radical gender
ideology in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and stood
strong against President Biden's most troubling judicial
nominees.
"In the House, the members who scored a perfect 100 percent on
our scorecard voted to protect infants born alive after surviving
an attempted abortion and condemned attacks against pro-life
pregnancy care centers, groups, and churches. These members also
voted to preserve parental rights and to restore Title IX's purpose
of creating an even playing field for female athletes by making it
a violation of federal law for schools that receive federal funds
to permit a biological male to participate in an athletic program
or activity designated for women. These members also stood strong
against NDAA amendments that promoted abortion and radical gender
ideology in our military.
"Americans should be encouraged to know that they have so many
members of Congress who, despite relentless attacks from the Left
and the media, are standing strong for faith, family, and freedom,"
concluded Perkins.
FRC Action President, and former Congressman, Jody Hice remarked: "This year's One Hundred
Percent Award winners have stood strong for all things faith,
family and freedom in the face of a determined Left. It is our
honor to recognize these Members tireless efforts on Capitol Hill
to ensure our voices continue to be heard. They were cherished
former colleagues and I look forward to many more productive years
standing with them."
