Tuberville Continues to Champion the Unborn Ahead of March for Life

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is taking action to stand up for our nation's most vulnerable. Sen. Tuberville (R-AL) joined Senator James Lankford (R-OK) in introducing the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act to protect children who survive abortion attempts. He also cosponsored Senator Rand Paul's (R-KY) Defund Planned Parenthood Act to protect taxpayers from supporting abortions. Finally, he co-wrote a letter with Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) to President Trump encouraging him to reinstate pro-life policies in his new administration.

This effort comes ahead of the March for Life, which will take place tomorrow in Washington, D.C.

"Since I got to Washington, I have been a champion for the unborn," said Senator Tuberville. "As Suzanne and I are welcoming our first grandchild this year, we have been reminded that every baby's life is precious. This is not about Republican or Democrat; this is about right and wrong. President Trump has a strong record of pro-life policies, and I am confident that his administration will continue to stand for life. I'm proud to partner with my Republican colleagues to fight for the most vulnerable among us."

Read more on the pro-life actions Sen. Tuberville has taken this week:

• The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act would protect newborns that survive abortions by requiring the receive care from health care practitioners. This bill was introduced on the floor earlier this week and failed on party lines. Read full text of the legislation here.
• The Defund Planned Parenthood Act would ensure federal tax dollars aren't going to organizations like Planned Parenthood, to perform abortions. Read full text of the legislation here.
• The letter sent to President Trump earlier this week encourages the President and his administration to reinstate and broadened the life-affirming pro-life policies in the early days of his new administration. It strongly condemns the Biden administration's unprecedented and illegal pro-abortion policies. Read full text of the letter here.
