Dems’ Scare Tactics Are a Lie: Pro-Life Laws Protect Unborn Children & Women
Washington, D.C. – The national pro-life group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America issued the following statement ahead of President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address:
“Americans will hear a tragic and frightening, but deeply misleading story about post-Dobbs America tonight – the idea that the pro-life movement is willing to let women die. That is a blatant lie. Let’s be very clear: every pro-life law in the country allows necessary and timely medical treatment to save the life of a pregnant woman in an emergency,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America. “Biden and the Democrats could not be more out of step with America as they push abortion on demand for any reason, paid for by taxpayers, up to the moment of birth. In the new Dobbs era, every woman and every child should receive the rights and love and attention they deserve.”
Ingrid Skop, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., a board-certified OB/GYN who has practiced in Texas for more than 25 years and serves as director of medical affairs at Charlotte Lozier Institute, refuted Democrats’ false claim that pro-life laws prevent doctors from intervening to save a pregnant woman’s life: “Pro-life laws protect unborn children, but they continue to protect the lives of women as well.”
The latest Marist/Knights of Columbus poll released in January confirms nearly seven in 10 Americans believe there should be significant limits on abortion, including 72% of women, 71% of Independents and nearly half of rank-and-file Democrats.
SBA Pro-Life America is tracking the Biden-Harris administration’s pro-abortion extremism at sbaprolife.org/biden-harris.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
