THREAD: During tonight's #StateOfTheUnionAddress Biden will tell Americans a tragic and frightening, but deeply misleading story about post-Dobbs America – the idea that the pro-life movement is willing to let women die.
That is a blatant lie. 1/
Let’s be very clear: every pro-life law in the country allows necessary and timely medical treatment to save the life of a pregnant woman in an emergency. 2/
In this @LozierInstitute video, Ingrid Skop, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., a board-certified OB/GYN refutes Democrats’ false claim that pro-life laws prevent doctors from intervening to save a pregnant woman’s life: 3/
Biden and the Democrats could not be more out of step with America as they push abortion on demand for any reason, paid for by taxpayers, up to the moment of birth. In the new Dobbs era, every woman and every child should receive the rights and love and attention they deserve. 4/
The latest @maristpoll/@KofC poll released in January confirms nearly 70% of Americans believe there should be significant limits on abortion, including 72% of women, 71% of Independents and nearly half of rank-and-file Democrats. 5/5
In June last year the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Dobbs, overturning the dated Roe v. Wade decision, returning the power to save lives from abortion to the people and their elected representatives -- at the state and federal level. 2/
Already this year, pro-life states have hit the ground running to advance measures that protect unborn lives & empower moms:
ALABAMA: Adoption reform
ARKANSAS: Safe-haven baby boxes; Ensure companies who pay for abortion travel also offer 16 weeks maternity leave 3/
THREAD: As President Trump announces the launch of his 2024 presidential campaign, we're encouraging him, and all presidential contenders, to outline their pro-life vision and policy platform in the new Dobbs era. 1/
President Trump raised the bar for what it means to be a pro-life presidential candidate and president.
As a candidate, he made written commitments to the pro-life movement and exposed Hillary Clinton’s extreme abortion views on the debate stage. 2/
As president, he kept his promises to the pro-life movement, chief among them to only nominate pro-life judges to the Supreme Court.
Thanks to President Trump keeping his word, we got Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett – and therefore, the historic Dobbs decision. 3/
Ron will continue to stand with pro-life Wisconsinites for common sense & popular pro-life measures #WISen#LifeWins22 1/
Senator Johnson went on offense, defining Mandela Barnes as an abortion extremist:
"The most extreme position here would be no limits on abortion whatsoever — allowing abortion right until the moment of birth, which is what [Barnes] supports." 2/

GOP pro-life candidates WIN in competitive races if they define their opponents as abortion extremists who support abortion on demand with NO limits... 1/
...and contrast that with a clearly defined pro-life position centered around consensus such as pain-capable or heartbeat limits.
This must be the key takeaway for the GOP as we head into the 2024 presidential cycle, especially those eyeing a run for the White House. 2/
Ted Budd has been an ardent defender of life in the House, defending the rights of unborn babies and advocating for the safety & security of their mothers. We look forward to seeing him continue his good work in the Senate! #NCSen#LifeWins22 1/7
Budd stood firmly for life:
“I’ve always been pro-life. Cheri Beasley supports abortion at any time, for any reason, all the way until the moment of birth – and at taxpayer expense. That's wildly out of step with where North Carolinians are.”
2/7
Senator-elect @TedBuddNC has been a leader for life as an initial cosponsor of @LindseyGrahamSC’s 15-week abortion limit. We look forward to continuing working with him to advance this popular, commonsense legislation in the Senate.

Congratulations on your victory tonight @JDVance1!
J.D. Vance is a courageous and thoughtful pro-life advocate and we look forward to working with him to protect LIFE in the U.S. Senate! #OHSen#LifeWins22 1/
“You're the extremist on this issue.”
J.D. Vance clearly demonstrated the contrast between his own common sense pro-life position that most Ohioans support, with Tim Ryan’s record of flip-flopping and out-of touch abortion extremism: 2/
Ohio chose commonsense policy over abortion extremism:
My grandmother was an old school Democrat who believed abortion should be safe, legal & rare. But that's not Ryan's view. He voted for a bill to allow abortion at 40 weeks for any reason. 3/
