It’s Time for Our Culture to Embrace Life

Today, thousands of pro-life advocates around the country gather in Washington to stand up and support the sanctity of life in America.

Defending life has been one of the most meaningful fights I have contributed to during my first year in Congress. I have had the opportunity to stand with pro-life colleagues from across the country by supporting legislation, joining pro-life discussions, and fighting against the radical pro-abortion Women’s Health Protection Act,  which would codify Roe v. Wade into law.

I joined Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, in introducing the Protecting Life on College Campuses Act. This legislation would prohibit awarding federal funds to a higher education institution that provides abortion drugs or abortion care to students or employees of that institution. It would save lives, protect women, and respect the conscience of American taxpayers.

The abortion industry purposefully preys upon young women facing unexpected pregnancies by withholding information from them and fighting against their ability to receive a sonogram. Our culture should embrace life and support women in times of crisis, not coerce them into killing their child.
