Daines also joined his colleagues in introducing a slate of bills that advance life and family values. “To all those marching for life today—thank you for using your voice to protect the voiceless. It is a Biblical truth that we are formed by God in our mothers’ wombs, and created with dignity from the moment of conception. It’s also a Constitutional principle that we are all created equal, inside and outside of the womb. Every life is a gift that should be celebrated. But it takes courage

The Abortion Pill is Harmful to Women | Sen. Steve Daines

The abortion pill, easily sold over the counter at the local drug store or shipped out by mail, causes traumatic adverse effects for the women who take it. Yet the federal government lauds the pill as safe. Pro-abortion advocates call it “safe as Tylenol,” despite overwhelming evidence showing otherwise. As a dad of four and a grandpa of seven, fighting for Montana families is my top priority. This includes Montana’s mothers and the most vulnerable: babies in the womb. Sadly, the culture of life in America has degraded. The abortion pill (mifepristone) is today’s most common form of abortion, accounting

Daines Joins Bill Recognizing Humanity of Unborn Child, Allowing Pregnant Mothers to Receive Child Support

U.S. Senator Steve Daines helped introduce the “Unborn Child Support Act” recognizing the humanity of an unborn child and providing expectant mothers with the option to receive child support payments. “Caring for a child starts long before birth, and Montana moms need access to critical child support while they’re pregnant,” said Daines. “By supporting expecting mothers, we recognize the humanity of an unborn baby and ensure Montanans have the resources they need to choose life.” Read the full bill text HERE.  The “Unborn Child Support Act” allows pregnant women to receive child support payments. It recognizes the needs of mothers and allows them to opt-in to receive prenatal

Daines Lauds President Trump’s Pardons of Peaceful Pro-Life Protesters

U.S. Senator Steve Daines today released the following statement after President Trump pardoned 23 peaceful pro-life protesters who were unjustly incarcerated by President Biden’s Justice Department: “Finally, justice is served. Under President Biden’s Justice Department, these peaceful protesters were singled out because they dared to stand up for the unborn. Within days of taking office, President Trump righted this wrong. It’s great to have a pro-life president back in the White House,” said Daines.

Daines Calls out Army for Labeling Pro-Life Orgs “Terrorist Groups”

U.S. Senator Steve Daines joined a group of Republican colleagues in sending a letter to Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth demanding answers after an Army anti-terrorism training depicted pro-life Americans as terrorists. “The American public expects the Department of Defense and its personnel to defend the homeland from actual terrorists, not Americans who seek protections for children in the womb. Labeling pro-life organizations as threats challenges servicemembers’ moral obligation to defend and protect even the smallest among us,” wrote the Senators. “In fact, around half of all Americans identify as pro-life. It is no wonder that the Army is struggling to recruit young men and women

Daines Statement on Anniversary of Dobbs Decision

U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines, founder of the Senate Pro-Life Caucus, today released the following statement ahead of the anniversary of the historic Dobbs decision.  “Across our country we have seen great victories for Life in the year since the Supreme Court empowered the American people and their elected representatives to resolve this issue. But the fight for Life is far from done as radical demands for abortion-on-demand until birth grow fierce. I will continue to fight against abortion extremism and advocate for the most vulnerable among us until all Americans are afforded the most fundamental right—the Right to Life.” 

Daines Advises Pharmacies to Follow Federal, State Laws Restricting Distribution of Abortion Drugs

U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines joined a group of his Republican colleagues in sending letters to seven major U.S. pharmacies that warn them of their obligations under federal and state laws, including longstanding federal laws that criminalize the mailing and interstate shipment of abortion drugs. “We write to express our support and agreement with 21 State Attorneys General, who have reminded you that Federal law in 18 U.S.C. 1461-1462 criminalizes nationwide using the mail, or interstate shipment by any express company or common carrier, to send or receive any drug that is ‘designed, adapted, or intended for producing abortion,’” the Senators wrote.

Daines Joins Colleagues to Expose Biden Administration for Breaking the Law, Promoting Dangerous DIY Abortions by Mail

U.S. SENATE – Senator Steve Daines today joined his colleagues in condemning the Biden administration’s willingness to knowingly break the law and jeopardize the health and safety of women. “It is disappointing, yet not surprising, that the Biden administration’s DOJ has not only abdicated its Constitutional responsibility to enforce the law, but also has once again twisted the plain meaning of the law in an effort to promote the taking of unborn life. The OLC memo should be immediately rescinded or, at minimum, redrafted to articulate an accurate application of the law,” the senators wrote. In December, the US Department of Justice
