U.S. SENATE —U.S. Senator Steve Daines today released the following statement in response to the Biden administration’s rule that dismantles the Trump-era Title X Protect Life Rule, which enforced a wall of separation between taxpayer-funded family planning programs and abortion. “Since Day One, President Biden has been working to send taxpayer dollars to the abortion industry. Today’s rule change defies the law, and is yet another example of this Administration’s complete disregard for human life and the consciences of healthcare providers and American taxpayers. Abortion is not family planning, it is family destruction,” Daines said. The Biden administration’s rule: Allows taxpayer-funded Title X programs to support and promote abortion Provides tens

U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Steve Daines today sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and NIH Director Francis Collins asking for a thorough investigation into the University of Pittsburgh’s inhumane abortion procedures and research. “Exploiting the body parts of aborted children for research purposes is repulsive and should stop, regardless of the outcome hoped for by researchers. Research using abortive fetal tissue is unethical, wrong, and has also been proven ineffective. Despite being used in clinical research since the 1920s, fetal tissue has not produced a single clinical treatment,” the letter states.   Read the letter HERE. Recent reports from the

U.S. SENATE — U.S. Senator Steve Daines, founder and chair of the Senate Pro-Life Caucus, today led a group of 10 senators to demand answers from the CEO of Google, Mr. Sundar Pichai, on Google’s double standard in censoring pro-life Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) advertisements while continuing to allow advertisements for deadly abortion pills. “While banning pro-life APR ads, Google continues to allow ads for purveyors of the deadly abortion pill mifepristone by mail, despite the fact this drug has resulted in at least 24 mothers’ tragic deaths and at least 1,042 mothers being sent to the hospital. Google’s double standard on abortion is disingenuous and an egregious abuse

U.S. SENATE—U.S. Senator Steve Daines today issued the following statement in support of Montana’s pro-life laws recently passed and signed by the governor as they face new legal challenges from Planned Parenthood of Montana. “This lawsuit attempts to force an extreme abortion agenda on Montana. It is despicable that Planned Parenthood is seeking to undo the Montana legislature’s life-saving laws that prevent barbaric late-term abortions on babies who can feel pain, taxpayer funding for abortion, and reckless do-it-yourself abortions by mail. This is yet another example of how the abortion industry puts profits over patients, ignores science, and weaponizes the Courts to thwart

U.S. SENATE — U.S. Senator Steve Daines today introduced the “Protecting Life on College Campus Act” to prohibit federal funds from going to any college or university with a campus health clinic that provides abortions or abortion drugs. “For too long the abortion industry has been taking advantage of vulnerable women and now, blue states like California are beginning to require campus clinics to provide chemical abortions on demand,” Daines stated. “These do-it-yourself abortions put young women in dangerous situations that they are oftentimes forced to deal with alone in their dorm room. This not only ends the life of an unborn child, it endangers the mother’s life as

U.S. SENATE — U.S. Senator Steve Daines today introduced the “Protecting Life and Taxpayers Act” to help end taxpayer support for the abortion industry. “Not a single penny of taxpayer dollars should go to fund Planned Parenthood or any other abortion business,” Daines said. We must protect all life and the consciences of pro-life American taxpayers by defunding the abortion industry once and for all.” Read the full text of the bill HERE.

U.S. SENATE –U.S. Senator Steve Daines today made the following statement after the Supreme Court announced it will consider Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, and rule on the constitutionality of Mississippi’s ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.  “Every life is precious and created with dignity and potential. There is no constitutional right to abortion, yet for nearly 50 years since Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided, more than 62 million children have been the tragic victims of abortion,” Daines said. “It is long past time for the Supreme Court to right this wrong and I am encouraged to

U.S. SENATE —U.S. Senator Steve Daines today released the below statement in response to the Biden Administration’s efforts to direct taxpayer dollars to the abortion industry. “Abortion is not family planning, it is family destruction. President Biden’s actions today are an attempt to provide a taxpayer funded giveaway to Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry. This defies the law and tramples over the consciences of health care providers and the American taxpayers,” Daines said. The Biden Administration’s proposed rule would: Allow taxpayer-funded Title X programs to support and promote abortion Provide tens of millions of dollars in funding to Planned Parenthood and the abortion
