“Today the Senate voted to restore the freedom of the states to redirect funds away from abortion clinics to other health care providers under the Title X program, a taxpayer-funded program for low-income women. We applaud both the House and Senate, specifically Congressman Diane Black (R-TN) and Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) for leading the efforts, for voting in favor of states’ freedom to choose Title X providers, and in particular we thank the tie-breaker, Vice-President Mike Pence. The Obama Administration rule that trampled on states’ right to choose Title X providers and exclude abortion providers like Planned Parenthood was bad policy.

“A majority of Americans (61 percent) oppose the use of tax dollars to fund abortions. Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in our nation, performing over 320,000 abortions every single year. In the wake of the latest video released yesterday by the Center for Medical Progress showing Planned Parenthood’s lack of respect for the inherent dignity of human life, funds should be redirected away from Planned Parenthood to better serve women and their health care needs. We look forward to working with Congress to reallocate Planned Parenthood funds through the reconciliation process to community health centers which outnumber abortion clinics by 20:1, have better oversight, and provide a full range of health services.”

“As Judge Gorsuch’s confirmation hearings come to a close, I’m even more excited about him as the nominee. It has been said that you can tell a person’s character by how they respond to difficult situations and over the past few days, we have seen Judge Gorsuch’s true character shine. Judge Gorsuch is not only exceptionally qualified for the role of Supreme Court justice in education, experience and knowledge, but he is also a man of deep integrity, he possesses the perfect temperament, and holds an unwavering commitment to the separation of powers. Judge Gorsuch will make an excellent addition to our nation’s high court and I look forward to the future with him on the Supreme Court.”

In an op-ed for Time Magazine, March for Life President Jeanne Mancini shares her thoughts on the Supreme Court nominee >>>>

Whether recognizing the HHS Mandate as oppressive to the many consciences it violates in both Hobby Lobby v. Sebelius and Little Sisters v. Burwell, or affirming that even a stillborn baby’s rights deserve protection in Pino v. United States, Judge Gorsuch consistently affirms that, as an originalist, respect for all life is of the utmost priority.

In The Hill, March for Life President Jeanne Mancini and Family Research Council President Tony Perkins had an op-ed published on the American Health Care Act.

Votes matter. Votes can save lives. If a truly pro-life solution cannot be included in the final version of the American Healthcare Act, then Congress will need to do the right thing and go back to the drawing board.
