Washington, DC - U.S. Congressman Gus Bilirakis has once again received a perfect A+ score on the 2023 Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America National Pro-Life Scorecard, released earlier today. This scorecard reflects each member's support on various pro-life issues. Bilirakis's strong stance in favor of the sanctity of life has earned him this recognition.
In anticipation of the upcoming National March for Life, Congressman Bilirakis expressed his unwavering support for the efforts of millions of Americans who will be marching in defense of the unborn. He emphasized the urgency of the issue, stating, "Tragically, more than 60 million unborn children have been aborted since Roe v. Wade was enacted more than 50 years ago."
Bilirakis commended the recent transformative victory in the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which establishes a new precedent for unborn babies' right to life. He highlighted the significance of this ruling, stating, "The question of abortion is now up to each individual state."
Despite this milestone, Bilirakis stressed that the work to protect the lives of the unborn is never over. He reaffirmed his commitment to being unapologetically pro-life and ensuring that the government defends Americans' constitutional rights, including the fundamental right to life. Bilirakis assured his constituents that he will continue to fight for the most vulnerable among us and protect the lives of unborn babies and their mothers.
The article then proceeds to highlight some of Bilirakis's pro-life record in 2023, which includes his support for measures such as the Born Alive Abortion Protection Act, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 amendment, the Heartbeat Protection Act, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, and the Concurrent Resolution Condemning Attacks on Pro-Life Facilities.
Looking ahead, Bilirakis plans to vote in favor of two additional measures that aim to better protect unborn babies and their mothers. These measures include the Pregnant Students' Rights Act, which requires colleges and universities to provide information and resources for pregnant students, and the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act, which blocks a proposed Biden Administration rule that could hinder states from providing funds to pregnancy resource centers.
With his consistent pro-life record and dedication to defending the rights of the unborn, Congressman Gus Bilirakis continues to be a strong advocate for the sanctity of life.
