‘Most Pro-Life Senate’ and ‘Reshaping’
of Federal Judiciary < >
National pro-life leaders say they are celebrating the “most pro-life Senate in American history” and the “reshaping of the federal judiciary,” even as House Democrats appear bent on expanding abortion in America.
“The strengths of the pro-life movement are all over the place,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, during an interview with Breitbart News at the March for Life Friday. “This is the strongest pro-life Senate – the most pro-life Senate – that we have ever had in American history. Maybe it wasn’t needed at one point, but now it is needed, and we have it.”

Like all the national leaders of pro-life organizations, Dannenfelser admitted she is disappointed Republicans did not hold onto the House in the November midterm elections.
“The silver lining, though, is Democrats revealed themselves immediately,” she continued, pointing to the first piece of legislation passed by House Democrats — a bill to end the partial government shutdown — to which was added language that would repeal the Mexico City Policy. Reinstituted by President Donald Trump, the policy bars taxpayer-funded organizations from promoting or performing abortions overseas.
“Day one of Nancy Pelosi’s leadership, the first bill out, and with the contrast with the first week of President Trump’s administration with the reinstitution of the Mexico City Policy – that contrast is such a gift in politics,” Dannenfelser said, adding:
And, as we move into the re-elect and the 2020 Senate races, they will be giving us new gifts every single day with how crazy they’re acting, and, honestly, they pick the most popular measures … the Hyde Amendment, the Mexico City Policy. These are hugely popular issues on the pro-life side.
As the March for Life rally began, Republican Sen. Steve Daines of Montana told the thousands of pro-life marchers assembled on the National Mall that he had launched the first-ever pro-life caucus in the U.S. Senate.
Daines told Breitbart News during an interview that the Senate would be “standing firm” on issues where life is concerned.
