Latta Attends March for Life, Reintroduces Pro-Life Bills

Today, Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH5) joined fellow Ohioans and Americans at the 2025 March for Life, held in Washington, D.C. on the National Mall. Latta this week also reintroduced two pro-life focused bills to protect moms, babies, and the unborn, and the U.S. House advanced a bill cosponsored by Latta, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.

"I'm a firm believer that all life is precious, which means we must protect the most vulnerable in our society, including moms, babies, and the unborn," Latta said. "I enjoyed seeing so many Ohioans and people from across America at this year's March for Life who share this same sentiment. I am committed to protecting the sanctity of life and advancing commonsense legislation to help defend those who cannot defend themselves - the unborn."

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 women.

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

On Thursday, the U.S. House passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act which would require any health care practitioner who is present when a child is born alive following an abortion or attempted abortion to 1) exercise the same degree of care as reasonably provided to any other child born alive at the same gestational age, and 2) ensure that child is immediately admitted to a hospital.
