Washington, DC â This afternoon Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) won the nomination of House Republicans to continue serving as Speaker of the House. In response, Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser offered the following comment:
âWe congratulate Speaker Paul Ryan, a close and longtime ally of the pro-life movement, on his unanimous nomination to serve once again as Speaker,â said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony List. âWe look forward to working with Speaker Ryan to advance the pro-life commitments made by President-elect Donald Trump: defund Americaâs abortion giant Planned Parenthood, pass into law the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, and enact a permanent Hyde Amendment. Ryanâs unanimous nomination is a crystal clear sign that House Republicans are united and ready to enact laws that save lives.â
