Pro-Life Senator Will Head Committee to Keep Republican Party Platform Strongly Pro-Life

This week, Republicans put a U.S. Senator with a strong pro-life record in charge of shaping the party’s new platform.

The Hill reports U.S. Sen. John Barrasso was named the chair of the Republican platform committee at the national convention in July. Barrasso, who represents Wyoming, has a 100-percent pro-life voting record from the National Right to Life Committee, and his appointment signals a strong party commitment to restoring unborn babies’ right to life.

“Writing the platform is a critical task, and as we enter one of the most important elections of our lifetime, our Party is eager to lead an American resurgence by standing on our commitment to life, individual liberty, a strong national defense, and an economy that works for all Americans,” RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement Tuesday.

The party also appointed two committee co-chairs, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin and U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx from North Carolina, according to the report. Both women also have strong pro-life voting records; however, Fallin currently is the center of controversy for vetoing a bill that would have taken away abortion doctors’ licenses and basically ended abortion in Oklahoma. Even some pro-life advocates were concerned the bill would merely be overturned in court as contravening Roe v. Wade and would not save any babies from abortion.
