Pro-life organizations vow to stand up to the Democrats' pro-abortion agenda in Congress

The leading pro-life organizations announced that they will intensify their efforts to block abortion initiatives that, in their view, Democrats will push forward after regaining control of both chambers of Congress.

As reported by LifeNews, National Right to Life, Live Action and Americans United for Life will work alongside pro-life lawmakers to defend existing protections for the unborn, preserve restrictions on the use of public funds to finance abortions and warn of the consequences of new legislative proposals.

"The election results change the balance of power in Congress, but they do not change the value of a single human life," said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. She warned that Democratic leaders might interpret the election results as an opportunity to advance their agenda. "An election does not give the Democrats a blank check. Americans deserve to know what these proposals would actually do, whose lives they would put at risk, and how their tax dollars would be used," she noted.

The organization announced that it will defend the Hyde Amendment, which limits federal funding for abortion, and other pro-life policies, while opposing initiatives that seek to overturn state protection laws.

Lila Rose, founder and president of Live Action, warned that the election results pose significant challenges for the pro-life movement. Rose asserted that Democratic leaders in Congress have made clear their intention to establish a national right to abortion, overturn state laws that protect the unborn and force taxpayers to fund these procedures. Among the initiatives she mentioned is the Women's Health Protection Act, which, she argued, would eliminate protections for the unborn nationwide, and the EACH Act, which would expand public funding for abortion.

"These are not moderate policies," said Rose, who warned that both initiatives would use the power of the federal government to expand abortion, direct taxpayer funds to organizations that perform abortions, and limit states' ability to protect the lives of the unborn.

John Mize, executive director of Americans United for Life, also anticipated a confrontational scenario during the upcoming legislative session. He stated that one of the new majority's main objectives will be to codify the abortion provisions of Roe v. Wade through the Women's Health Protection Act. Mize stated that his organization will work to prevent its passage and will defend other federal protections, including the Hyde and Weldon amendments, which establish restrictions related to public funding of abortion and conscientious objections.
