Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith
Mississippi (Republican)
Senator Hyde-Smith has voted consistently to protect the lives of unborn babies and infants as well as the consciences of taxpayers who don’t want their hard-earned tax dollars paying for abortion domestically or internationally. While the pro-abortion majority in the U.S. House of Representatives continually sends the Senate bills that roll back pro-life protections, the Senate has made it their priority to confirm judges and justices who will respect the constitution and leave legislating to the legislative branch.
Senator Hyde-Smith led efforts in the Senate throughout the year to push for the finalization of the abortion separate payments rule. She also introduced S. 3072, the Support and Value Expectant (SAVE) Moms and Babies Act. Sen. Hyde-Smith led a bicameral letter urging the FDA to uphold restrictions on chemical abortion, to protect women's health.
