Six members of Indiana’s congressional delegation added their names to an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of a Louisiana law protecting moms and babies from abortion drugs by mail. The brief reads in part: “By deregulating chemical abortion drugs and permitting them to be sent through the mail, the Biden FDA violated that longstanding federal law. Unelected, unaccountable bu reaucrats in Biden’s FDA therefore overrode the will of the American people as expressed through their elected representatives in Congress and in state legislatures and subverted Congress’s critical public policy interests in upholding patient welfare. The lawless actions of the Biden FDA have also caused real harm and continue to endanger women and girls undergoing chemical abortions, warranting the preliminary relief granted by the Fifth Cir cuit. As pro-life elected representatives, Amici are committed to protecting women and girls from the harms of the abortion industry. Amici are also committed to upholding the rule of law and the proper separation of powers outlined in our Constitution” Indiana legislator joining the brief include Sen. Todd Young, Sen. Jim Banks, Rep. Erin Houchin, Rep. Mark Messmer, Rep. Marlin Stutzman, and Rep. Rudy Yakym.

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) led a letter encouraging the Trump Administration to reinstate the Protect Life Rule, which would ensure Title X family planning funds cannot be used to provide abortions or abortion referrals. U.S. Senators Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), Jim Banks (R-Ind.), Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), John Cornyn (R-Texas), and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) signed the letter. The Protect Life Rule was proposed and finalized by the first Trump Administration in 2019. In 2021, the Biden Administration rescinded the rule and withheld funds from at least two states for refusing to refer women for abortions. Reinstating this rule will prevent American taxpayer dollars from funding abortions and protect innocent lives. “During your first term in March 2019, your Administration proposed and finalized the Protect Life Rule. That Rule ensured that Title X family planning funds could no longer flow to clinics that perform, promote, or refer for abortions, and required clear physical and financial separation between Title X-funded projects and abortion facilities…While the Biden-Harris Administration moved swiftly to undo this progress by rescinding the Rule, we stand ready to support your Administration in reinstating the policy by promulgating a new proposed rule with the same objective,” the senators wrote. The letter is supported by Indiana Right to Life, SBA Pro-Life America, Ethics and Public Policy Center, National Right to Life, CatholicVote, March for Life Action, Pre-Born!, Heartbeat International, Family Policy Alliance, Americans United for Life, American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee, Students for Life Action, and Live Action.
