“We have a solemn duty to protect all lives, especially the most innocent and vulnerable among us. The Susan B. Anthony List is one of the most distinguished pro-life organizations in the country, and I’m proud to stand with the millions of Americans who fight every day for unborn children.”
WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, today received an “A” rating on the Susan B. Anthony List National Pro-Life Scorecard.
“We have a solemn duty to protect all lives, especially the most innocent and vulnerable among us. The Susan B. Anthony List is one of the most distinguished pro-life organizations in the country, and I’m proud to stand with the millions of Americans who fight every day for unborn children,” said Kennedy.
This January, Kennedy introduced the Pregnant Women Health and Safety Act to ensure women have access to immediate health care by requiring abortion providers to have admitting privileges at a hospital located within 15 miles of the abortion facility.
Kennedy led the amicus brief in the June Medical Services v. Russo case, which focused on the Louisiana Unsafe Abortion Protection Act. The brief had a record 207 signers from the House and Senate. In March, he also delivered remarks ahead of the Supreme Court's oral arguments in that case.
