Pro Life Lawmakers Encourage Trump to Reinstate Life Affirming Policies

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) joined 143 members of Congress in sending a bicameral letter to President Trump that encourages the president to reinstate and broaden the life-affirming pro-life policies in the early days of his new administration.

The letter, signed by 36 Senators and 108 Representatives, in addition to encouraging President Trump also strongly condemned the Biden administration's unprecedented and illegal pro-abortion policies.

On the reinstatement of pro-life policies:

"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, the pardon of peaceful protesters, and the investigation of potential illegal late-term abortion.

The letter encouraged 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.

On the lawmakers' hopes for the unborn, their mothers, and America:

"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."
