Enough is Enough

Since the Supreme Court made Roe v. Wade the law of the land in 1973, more than 61 million babies have lost their lives through legal abortions. This atrocity has gone on long enough. Life is the most basic right of every man and woman created in the image of God and the first right guaranteed in our Declaration of Independence.

Now, the Hyde Amendment, a bipartisan agreement prohibiting taxpayer funded abortions in Medicaid since 1976, is under attack from the radical left. The American people do not want the Hyde Amendment to be revoked. Studies show the majority of Americans oppose taxpayer-funded abortion and support at least some restrictions on abortion.

In addition, President Biden has announced an end to the Mexico City Policy, which prevents taxpayer funds from being used to promote abortion as women's health care overseas – a restriction 75% of the American people support. I condemn these extremist policy changes in the strongest terms.

I recently signed a letter with my Republican colleagues urging Congressional Democrats to continue to protect the consciences of the majority of Americans who oppose taxpayer funded abortion. I also signed a letter to President Biden denouncing the end of the Mexico City Policy. While he preaches unity, he ends one of the few policies agreed upon by the majority of Americans. This only serves the will of radical Democrats, not those he claims to represent.

I believe in supporting not only the unborn, but also the women and families who are in difficult situations so that abortion is never the only choice. Thousands of non-profits across the nation offer resources and financial assistance to women who need help during their pregnancy. Adoption is always a fantastic option, with about 2 million couples currently waiting to adopt. That is 36 couples for every child placed for adoption.

Join me in standing up for what is right and protecting the most vulnerable among us. Speak out in your communities in defense of the voiceless, and let women know they always have the option to choose life.
