Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 27, 2026
this past Friday, thousands of Americans, young and old, marched peacefully to call attention to the sanctity and inherent value of each life. Their advocacy and passion drive our work on Capitol Hill to protect women and unborn children. I am a doctor, and I learned in medical school that a child's life begins in the womb. Abortion ends that life. Medically, morally, there is no difference in the value of a child, whether she is in her mother's arm or her mother's womb. And as a doctor, I learned the first rule is to do no harm. Chemical abortion drugs are designed to do harm, to eliminate the life of the unborn child, and, at times, to do harm to the child's mother. That is why as chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, I focused our first hearing of 2026 on the dangers of the chemical abortion drug mifepristone. Women, families, and unborn children deserve that we do so. I thank Louisiana attorney general Liz Murrill and Dr. Monique Wubbenhorst for sharing the real-life impact abortion drugs have on women and their unborn children. Their testimonies confirm the need to restore the previous in-person dosing requirements that the Biden administration recklessly removed. Chemical abortion drugs are not safe, run-of-the-mill drugs.
