Advancing American Freedom issued the following statement on the anniversary of the passage of the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act.”

“President Biden admitted that the Inflation Reduction Act had little to do with ending inflation and was an expensive investment in climate change, and one year later the American people are still suffering the consequences of it,” said AAF Executive Director Paul Teller. “The Inflation Reduction Act is just one of the many ways the Biden administration and Democrats in Congress continue to foist their radical climate agenda on the American people, hurting the fiscal and national security of our nation. Advancing American Freedom will continue to stand against the radical agenda of the Left and promote legislation that allows America to move towards energy independence.”

Background

When the Inflation Reduction Act was first proposed Advancing American Freedom called on Congress to oppose it, referring to it as the “inflation and recession” act.

Advancing American Freedom also has rolled out multiple spending campaigns calling out the wasteful spending provisions in the IRA.

Advancing American Freedom issued the following statement after the Fifth Circuit’s decision to reinstitute restrictions that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had lifted in recent years.

“The FDA’s initial approval of mifepristone should remain under scrutiny; it should not have been approved,” said J. Marc Wheat, General Counsel for AAF. “We applaud that the Fifth Circuit has recognized that an abortion drug that has been recorded to have dangerous side effects should not have safety restrictions requiring physician care for its use stripped by FDA. The Fifth Circuit’s opinion cited a declaration that a woman nine weeks pregnant had been treated by hospital staff for a pulmonary embolism with anti-coagulants; yet Planned Parenthood of Indiana gave her mifepristone. Had she not been taken to a hospital afterward, the chemical abortion could have caused her to bleed out and die. Advancing American Freedom will continue to stand for the protection and safety of women and the unborn.”
