“On a battlefield or in an emergency room, medical professionals run to save those with a heartbeat. Love runs toward others to help, and we can do no less for mothers and their preborn children,” said SFLAction’s Kristan Hawkins.
WASHINGTON D.C. (09-21-2023) –Students for Life Action (SFLAction) President Kristan Hawkins announced that the nation’s largest pro-life youth organization engaged in all 50 states and on more than 1,400 campuses is calling on every GOP Presidential Candidate to sign a PROTECTING HEARTBEATS PLEDGE. “More than 9 in 10 abortions take place by three months of pregnancy (12) weeks, leading the Pro-Life Generation to call for earlier protections for innocent preborn children,” said Hawkins. “If we have learned one thing from President Biden, it’s that abortion IS federal. As I’ve said before, the Biden administrations taxpayer-funded abortion extremism has infected all facets of American government, including in healthcare, education, foreign aid, military spending, and even the postal service. Biden’s supporters won’t stop forcing others to embrace death of the preborn through all nine months of pregnancy – they even refuse to identify abortions that they think go too far. But we won’t let this radicalism win. We are just beginning the fight to rebuild a culture of life. The next President needs to be part of that effort.”
SFLAction is distributing a simple pledge, calling for a commitment from presidential hopefuls to sign Heartbeat Abortion Protection legislation that offer legal protections to babies with the universal sign of life – a heartbeat.
The Pledge reads as follows: “If elected President of the United States, I (Name here) pledge to sign protections for babies showing the universal sign of Life – a heartbeat – into law, if sent the legislation from Congress.”
Students for Life Action has advanced Heartbeat Abortion Protection legislation in states across the country, including Florida, where Gov. DeSantis signed the important protections into law.
