The Sconi

U.S. Senator Ron Johnson, along with Senators Cindy Hyde-Smith, James Lankford, and over 140 other members of Congress, have urged President Trump to reinstate and expand pro-life policies as he begins his new administration. In a letter signed by 36 Senators and 108 Representatives, they criticized the Biden administration's pro-abortion policies.

The lawmakers stated, "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 letter called for a return to policies that restrict taxpayer funding for abortion both domestically and internationally. It also requested the reinstatement of anti-discrimination conscience policies, pardons for peaceful protesters, and investigations into potential illegal late-term abortions.

Additionally, the letter encouraged President Trump to review federal programs to enhance support for pregnant and parenting women through services such as housing, childcare, transportation, addiction recovery, and health care.

"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," wrote the lawmakers. "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."

Among those joining Senators Johnson, Hyde-Smith, and Lankford were Senators Steve Daines, John Cornyn, Kevin Cramer, Marsha Blackburn among others.

The letter has received endorsements from several organizations including the American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs, Americans United for Life, CatholicVote among others.
