Latest Pro-Life News

SBA hosted a reception to celebrate the powerful wave of new pro-life leadership in the 119th Congress and the historic victories that made it possible. Thanks to the unwavering dedication of our supporters, SBA reached over 10 million persuadable voters during the 2024 election cycle, helping secure a major victory for the GOP in the 2024 elections. These efforts resulted in the preservation of the GOP House majority, a reclaimed Senate, and the defeat of Kamala Harris. The reception brought together over 50 members of Congress and some of the most influential pro-life voices in the country to celebrate these achievements and set the stage for an even brighter future for the pro-life movement.

SBA’s President Marjorie Dannenfelser opened the event by introducing the freshmen members in attendance and highlighting their unwavering commitment to the pro-life cause. She then recognized Senator James Lankford, who gave some inspiring opening remarks and led the group in a powerful prayer.

After the prayer, several speakers took the podium to highlight the opportunity before us to usher in a golden age for life:

• Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi, Chairman of the Senate Pro-Life Caucus
• Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey, Chairman of the House Pro-Life Caucus who praised SBA for the work done to bring pro-life women to Congress and be effective in policy efforts, and commended the Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) for its “second to none” research, which supports pro-life lawmakers in standing up for life in Congress.
• Rep. Robert Aderholt of Alabama, Chairman of the House Values Action Team

Rep. Aderholt raised a toast to the pro-life movement and introduced President of the freshman class of the 119^th Congress, Texas Rep. Brandon Gill. Gill passionately discussed the new generation of pro-life leaders and expressed hope that, with a new administration and GOP majority in Congress, we’ll make significant strides to protect babies and support mothers. He ended with a heartfelt toast to the pro-life movement.

The event reached its peak when Marjorie introduced Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. He stepped up to the podium and congratulated the new pro-life members of Congress, emphasizing the critical importance of their 2024 election victories. Reflecting on how without these wins the nation could have headed in a dark direction, he acknowledged that, thanks to God’s mercy and the hard work of everyone in the room, we were able to steer the country away from that darkness and head toward a golden age for America. He expressed confidence that we will again become a country that prioritizes protecting the unborn.

With the election of these new pro-life members to Congress, we are filled with hope for the future. Their leadership and commitment to the sanctity of life will help drive meaningful change for the unborn. We look forward to working alongside these new leaders to protect babies and support mothers in the years ahead.
