Indy Standard

U.S. Senators Todd Young from Indiana and Ted Cruz from Texas have introduced a resolution to designate June as "Life Month." This initiative aims to commemorate the anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in June 2022. The resolution emphasizes the importance of recognizing human dignity, applauding those who advocate for life, and urging policymakers to continue supporting women and families in making life-affirming choices.

Senator Young expressed his pride in leading this resolution, stating, "Hoosiers have always been leaders in the pro-life movement, giving a voice to the voiceless and walking alongside those committed to choosing life. I’m proud to lead this resolution that affirms the sanctity of human life and recognizes the efforts by champions of life to provide care and resources to pregnant mothers and families in need."

The "Life Month" resolution has garnered support from several other senators, including John Cornyn (Texas), Mike Lee (Utah), Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Josh Hawley (Missouri), John Kennedy (Louisiana), Ted Budd (North Carolina), Pete Ricketts (Nebraska), Cindy Hyde-Smith (Mississippi), James Lankford (Oklahoma), Roger Marshall (Kansas), Lindsey Graham (South Carolina), Rick Scott (Florida), Thom Tillis (North Carolina), Tommy Tuberville (Alabama), Joni Ernst (Iowa), Jim Risch (Idaho), Bill Cassidy (Louisiana), John Hoeven (North Dakota), Eric Schmitt (Missouri), Kevin Cramer (North Dakota), Tim Scott (South Carolina), Bill Hagerty (Tennessee), Mike Rounds (South Dakota), Jim Justice (West Virginia) and Cynthia Lummis (Wyoming).
