With the commencement of the 119th Congress, several legislative initiatives have been introduced to support policies that defend unborn children and affirm the sanctity of life. These efforts aim to advocate for babies in the womb and their mothers. One member expressed pride in supporting pro-life legislation, emphasizing its importance in recognizing value and dignity.

Among the measures backed is the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which mandates healthcare practitioners provide care to newborns who survive abortions. Another initiative is the Protecting Individuals with Down Syndrome Act, aimed at banning discriminatory abortions following a Down syndrome diagnosis.

Additionally, there is support for the Protecting Life on College Campus Act. This act seeks to prohibit federal funding for colleges or universities with health clinics providing abortions or abortion drugs. The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act also receives backing, intending to make permanent the Hyde Amendment that prevents taxpayer dollars from funding abortions.

The member remains committed to efforts within the Pro-Life Caucus and has joined over 140 other Members of Congress urging President Trump to reinstate and expand pro-life policies under his administration.

Recognition from advocacy groups has followed these efforts. "I am pleased the Susan B. Anthony List has awarded me an A+ rating on its National Pro-Life Scorecard because of my consistent pro-life voting record," said one member.

The responsibility of serving as a voice for vulnerable children in the womb and their mothers is described as both tremendous and honorable. The commitment continues alongside colleagues and advocates nationwide on this critical issue.
