As Idahoans, we believe in the right to life and in the Tenth Amendment. Since President Biden has been in office, both of these principles have been under attack. In Idaho, we have one of the strongest pro-life laws in the country. Unfortunately, the Biden administration is trying to use federal power to undermine our state law in the service of a radical pro-abortion agenda. I am happy to stand with elected officials not only in Idaho but across the country to fight for life and oppose this federal overreach.

Like most Idahoans, I believe that unborn childrenโ€™s lives are precious and that our most basic right is the right to life. The Biden administrationโ€™s attack on Idaho law is more than jeopardizing the lives of future generations; it is also threatening the balance of power between the federal and state governments as outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
