The Senate Pro-Life Caucus is a central organizing point for Senators to protect and defend the right to life from conception. Founded in 2019, the Caucus focuses on life-issues, including abortion, chemical abortion drugs, embryo-destructive research, bioethics, assisted suicide, and related conscience protections, as well as advancing policies to support pregnant mothers in welcoming their preborn children into the world.
In light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which returned power to the people and their elected representatives to protect life, more is possible to advance protections for preborn children than ever before.
