Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) and 143 members of Congress have urged President Trump to reinstate and expand pro-life policies at the beginning of his new administration. This request was made through a bicameral letter signed by 36 Senators and 108 Representatives.

The letter criticizes the Biden administration's approach to abortion policies, describing them as "unprecedented and illegal." The lawmakers expressed their desire for a return to Trump's previous life-affirming policies. They stated, “Over the last four years, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and their administration systematically weaponized the government against the unborn, their mothers and pro-life Americans—doing their very best to erase every trace of life-affirming victories from your first administration.”

The lawmakers are advocating for several actions including adherence to existing policies that restrict taxpayer funding for abortion both domestically and internationally. They also call for the reimplementation of anti-discrimination conscience policies, pardoning peaceful protesters, and investigating potential illegal late-term abortions.

Additionally, they encourage President Trump to review federal programs to enhance support for pregnant women and parents in areas such as housing, childcare, transportation, addiction recovery, and healthcare.

In expressing their hopes for America’s future regarding these issues, they wrote: “We are grateful that the Trump administration can bring an end to the weaponization of the United States government against pro-life Americans and unborn children... We urge you to seek ways to provide this future to all Americans."

The letter has received endorsements from various organizations including the American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs, Americans United for Life, CatholicVote among others.
