06/24/2022 Tweet - "Today is a day for which millions of Americans -- myself included -- have worked and prayed. Overturning Roe v. Wade is a turning point in our nation's history that will undoubtedly save millions of lives and open the door to greater legal protections for the unborn."
03/08/2022 Tweet - ". @SBAList is an essential advocate for protecting life. It was great to sit down with their president Marjorie Dannenfelser to discuss our shared passion for standing up for the rights of the unborn."
02/28/2022 Tweet - "Inflation is at a 40-year high, there's chaos at our southern border, & Ukraine is under attack, yet @SenSchumer & Washington Dems have decided to prioritize a bill that would virtually green light abortion on demand. Disgusting & more time wasted on a far-left, radical agenda."
12/01/2021 Tweet - "Roe v. Wade was a bad decision, and the Supreme Court acted far outside of the Constitution when it created this precedent nearly 50 years ago. Our country was founded on the right to life, a right that should be extended to unborn children."
11/30/2021 Tweet - "Tomorrow SCOTUS will hear arguments in the Dobbs case, which offers the best opportunity in years to see Roe v. Wade overturned or modified -- something that's long overdue. I hope SCOTUS will uphold Mississippi's law and open the door to greater protection for unborn children."
09/23/2021 Tweet - "It's obvious that Dems believe Washington elites know what's best for everyone -- even South Dakotans. They're pushing for a federal takeover of states' authority -- telling them how to hold elections -- and forcing their liberal views on abortion laws and immunization requirements."
05/28/2021 Tweet - "A presidential budget is a blueprint for the priorities he'd like to see enacted. The fact that the Hyde amendment was not included in Joe Biden's budget says all you need to know about how he views the pro-life movement."
02/28/2020 Tweet - "Dems block pro-life legislation Another step for #5G 3 more judges confirmed What else happened in Washington this week? #WeekInWashingtonWrapUp"
02/25/2020 Tweet - "The #prolife bills in the Senate today are a chance for us to draw a line in the sand and make it clear that -- no matter what some extreme Democrats may say -- we believe that all children, whether born alive in a hospital or an abortion clinic, deserve protection & medical care."
02/25/2020 Tweet - "LIVE: I'm about to speak on the #SenateFloor about the rights of unborn children & the two commonsense bills the Senate is working on this week to help to defend those rights."
02/25/2020 Tweet - "It's horrifying to think that in 2017, the number of babies killed by abortion was roughly equivalent to the population of South Dakota. Abortion denies unique, individual human beings the most basic of human rights -- the right to life."
02/25/2020 Tweet - "Very sad to witness my Democrat colleagues block a bill that would simply require that babies who survive abortions and enter this world ALIVE receive the same care that any human baby would receive at birth. It is incomprehensible to me how this could not be a bipartisan bill."
02/25/2020 Tweet - "These 2 #prolife bills should've been bipartisan. Every one of us ought to agree that infants born alive during an abortion should receive the same care that any baby would receive, and - at the very least - we shouldn't be aborting babies after the point that they can feel pain."
01/25/2020 Tweet - "Glad to have had the chance to sit down with a few folks from the Rapid City area #RightToLife group and thank them for standing up for the unborn this week at the #MarchForLife."
01/24/2020 Tweet - "A warm welcome to the thousands of Americans who are in D.C. today for the #MarchForLife. Many have traveled from across the country, including South Dakota, to help defend the defenseless, and I want to thank everyone who has stood up for the unborn."
04/02/2019 Tweet - "It is horrifying that the Democrat Party can't stand up and say that infanticide is wrong. They have swung so far to the left that they cannot even bring themselves to affirm that babies born alive should be protected. #EndInfanticide"
02/26/2019 Tweet - "It is horrifying that the Democrat Party can't get up and say that infanticide is wrong. A baby born alive in an abortion clinic is no less valuable and deserving of protection than a baby born in a delivery room."
02/25/2019 Tweet - "Democrats just rejected a bill to protect babies that survive a botched abortion. They have swung so far to the left that they cannot even bring themselves to affirm that babies born alive should be protected. https://bit.ly/2GYNjmi"
02/25/2019 Tweet - "Tonight the Senate will vote on a common-sense measure that we all should be able to get behind -- a bill that simply declares that any infant born alive during an abortion is entitled to be protected."
02/05/2019 Tweet - "It's hard to imagine anyone objecting to protecting a baby that is born alive. But last night Democrats objected to a bill that would do just that."
01/18/2019 Tweet - "Thank you to all those who are participating in the #MarchForLife today. I can think of few greater things than to defend the defenseless, to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves."
02/02/2018 Tweet - "I am confident that our nation is moving toward the day when every child, born and unborn, is protected in law. And I will keep fighting in Congress to bring that day closer. #ProLife #LoveSavesLives"
01/29/2018 Tweet - "Today, Democrats voted to keep the United States as one of only seven countries in the world, including China and North Korea, that allow elective abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy -- an age at which the baby can feel pain."
01/19/2018 Tweet - "I'd like to welcome all those who traveled to D.C. for the #MarchforLife. Thank you for standing up for the most vulnerable among us. #WhyWeMarch"
