While Republicans Are Standing Up For Life, Democrats Continue To Push Their Limitless Abortion Agenda

REPUBLICANS STAND FOR LIFE

• Americans will gather today in the nation’s capital as part of the 50^thannual March for Life and advocate for pro-life policies to defend the most vulnerable in our society.
• Biden and Democrats have caved to the most radical members of their party, supporting abortion on demand up until the moment of birth.
• The Republican Party is fighting back against Biden and Democrats’ increasingly radical abortion agenda, championing pro-life policies in Congress and across the United States.
  • Last year, Republicans helped secure a historic victory for the right to life with the Dobbs decision, returning the abortion debate to where a majority of Americans want it to be – with the people.
  • The new Republican majority in the House has already voted to ensure babies born alive receive medical care and to condemn violence against pro-life organizations, churches, and groups that provide services to expecting-mothers.

  • Biden’s HHS has actively sought to circumvent the Hyde Amendment in order to use federal taxpayer dollars to fund abortion.
