WASHINGTON – On Friday, Jan. 19, Senator John Hoeven met with North Dakotans visiting our nation’s capital and released the following statement in honor of the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C.

“The right to life must be protected, and I remain committed to protecting life in all its forms, including both the life of the unborn and the life and wellbeing of mothers,” said Hoeven. “Your efforts make a real difference as we support the sanctity of life. Thank you to the North Dakotans and everyone across the nation who are participating in this year’s March for Life. We appreciate your support and stand with you as we continue working to defend life.”

Hoeven has helped introduce multiple pieces of legislation in the U.S. Senate to uphold the sanctity of life. Through his work on the Senate Appropriations Committee, Hoeven remains committed to preserving the Hyde amendment and ensuring taxpayer dollars are prohibited from supporting abortion providers. Hoeven received an A+ grade from Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America for his work in Congress.
