Latta Receives an A+ on the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life Scorecard

Today, Congressman Bob Latta (OH-5) announced that he received an A+ on the Susan B. Anthony's Pro-Life Scorecard. This score takes into account votes and actions of every member of Congress for the first session of the 119th Congress. This morning, Congressman Latta attended an event in support of the right to life on Capitol Hill.

"Whether in Washington, DC, or marching across the nation, today and every day I stand with thousands of pro-life supporters who believe in the right to life. Every human life is precious, and we must continue working to build a community that protects and supports moms, babies, and the unborn. Protecting unborn children means standing strong for life and advancing commonsense legislation to help defend those who cannot defend themselves-the unborn," Latta said.

Latta's pro-life legislation

Support and Value Expectant (SAVE) Moms and Babies Act:

• This bill would prevent labeling changes, such as removing the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS), for already approved abortion drugs. It would also prevent providers from "dispensing" the drugs remotely, by mail, or via telemedicine, and would prevent the FDA from approving new chemical abortion drugs. Chemical abortions have the highest complication rate of available procedures and allowing chemical abortion drugs to be dispensed without an in-person appointment and ultrasound dramatically increases the risk to mothers.

Protecting the Dignity of Unborn Children Act:

• This bill would make it a federal crime to dispose of aborted baby body parts in landfills or in any navigable waters of the United States.

U.S. House passed pro-life legislation

This week, the House passed two important bills to support women, parents, and families. The Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act gives states flexibility to use Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds to support pregnancy centers that protect life and provide real help to moms, dads, and families. The House also passed the Pregnant Students' Rights Act, which ensures pregnant students are aware of their rights and have access to critical resources so they can succeed in the classroom and beyond.
