U.S. Senators Katie Britt, Cindy Hyde-Smith Encourage President Trump to Reinstate Life-Affirming Policies

Sign Letter Assuring Support for Trump Pro-Life Actions with 144 Senators and Representatives

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Katie Britt (R-Ala.), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), and James Lankford (R-Okla.) have issued a letter to President Trump that encourages reinstatement and broadening of life-affirming pro-life policies in the early days of his administration.

“Over the last four years, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and their administration systematically weaponized the government against the unborn, their mothers and pro-life Americans—doing their very best to erase every trace of life-affirming victories from your first administration,” the lawmakers wrote.  “We look forward to the reinstatement of Trump policies on life in the first days of your second term, getting the country back to a life-affirming, whole of government approach to supporting pregnant and parenting women and their children, born and unborn.”

In addition to reasserting adherence to the long-standing policies restricting the use of taxpayer dollars to promote abortion domestically and internationally, the lawmakers also sought the return of Trump anti-discrimination conscience policies and the pardon of peaceful pro-life protesters.

The letter encourages President Trump to seize the opportunity to examine federal programs across the government to maximize their impact for the benefit of pregnant and parenting women and their children, before and after birth, with housing, childcare, transportation, addiction recovery, and life-affirming health care.

“We are grateful that the Trump administration can bring an end to the weaponization of the United States government against pro-life Americans and unborn children,” the lawmakers wrote.  “We believe there is a better way forward for our Republic.  We are hopeful for a future where women are given real choices and real support:  a future that gives pregnant and parenting women the resources they need to embrace life without feeling the pressure to abort their child.  We urge you to seek ways to provide this future to all Americans.  The life, safety, freedom and health of the millions of Americans, born and unborn, depend on it.”

The American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs, Americans United for Life, CatholicVote, Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, Family Research Council, March for Life Action, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, Students for Life Action, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities, and the Vitae Foundation endorsed the letter.

In addition to Senators Britt, Hyde-Smith, and Lankford, the letter was signed by U.S. Senators Steve Daines (R-Mont.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Jim Banks (R-Ind.), James Risch (R-Idaho), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), Todd Young (R-Ind.), Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-La.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kan.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).
