Sen. Steve Daines

Senator Daines 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 Daines is the Chair of the first ever Senate Pro-Life Caucus. He led the Senate letter to the President requesting a veto threat for any anti-life legislation as well as a letter to the President encouraging his ongoing efforts to defeat anti-life policies in appropriations. He also co-led a bicameral letter to Office of Personnel Management Acting Director urging enforcement of the Smith Amendment. Senator Daines participated in debate on the Senate floor in favor of S. 311, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and S. 3275, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. During negotiations of the CARES Act, Senator Daines worked to ensure that taxpayer dollars would not bail out affiliates of certain abortion providers. He co-led a bicameral letter to direct the Small Business Administration to implement the qualifications that would exclude Planned Parenthood affiliates from receiving forgivable loans through the "Paycheck Protection Program."
