Senate Republicans Introduce Resolution to Designate June as Life Month

A bipartisan group of Republican senators, led by Sen. Ted Cruz and joined by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, Sen. Cynthia Lummis, and 26 others, introduced a resolution to designate June as "Life Month" in honor of the June 2022 Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. The resolution emphasizes the belief that every human life is inherently precious and deserves legal protection, framing this designation as a reaffirmation of the fundamental right to life as enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. Supporters argue that this resolution serves to counter June's traditional recognition as Pride Month by focusing instead on protecting unborn life and celebrating the pro-life momentum within the Republican Party. The resolution calls on Congress to annually recognize June as a month to promote a culture of life, commend pro-life individuals and organizations, and encourage laws that protect the unborn while supporting women and families. The effort has garnered backing from numerous conservative and pro-life advocacy groups, including CatholicVote, National Right to Life, Students for Life, and Alliance Defending Freedom. This initiative is presented as a key message from Republicans now controlling the White House, Senate, and House that they are committed to defending life.
