Huelskamp Marches for Life

Statement

Congressman Tim Huelskamp (KS-01), Whip for the Bipartisan Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, today participated in the March for Life in Washington, D.C. Congressman Huelskamp is a strong supporter of both the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act and the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act passed the House today by a vote of 242 to 179.

"Some of the strongest supporters of Life were on stage, but they were outshined by the hundreds of thousands of pro-life activists in the crowd. These tireless unelected citizens are doing us all a great service as they keep marching toward a country that values human life as we should.

"I was proud to run across so many who made the trip from Kansas to support the fight for Life. And if volume and enthusiasm were the measure, Kansas was by far the best-represented state at the March.

"I call on Republicans and Democrats in the Senate to take notice, pass the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act and send it to President Obama's desk. I also hope that the House Majority leadership will follow through on the promise made today at the March for Life to bring the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to a vote in the near future."
