'We look forward to the reinstatement of Trump policies on life': Alabama Republicans join colleagues in letter addressed to White House

Republican lawmakers from Alabama have many reasons to celebrate a second term for President Donald Trump, but they are especially grateful to see the return of his pro-life policies to the White House.

In a letter sent to the newly inaugurated president, elected officials from Alabama including U.S. Senators Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) and Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn), along with Congressmen Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville), Barry Moore (R-Enterprise), Mike Rogers (R-Saks), and Dale Strong (R-Monrovia), joined their fellow conservative colleagues in encouraging Trump to reinstate and broaden life-affirming pro-life policies in the early days of his new administration.

“Over the last four years, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and their administration systematically weaponized the government against the unborn, their mothers, and pro-life Americans—doing their very best to erase every trace of life-affirming victories from your first administration,” the lawmakers wrote. “We look forward to the reinstatement of Trump policies on life in the first days of your second term, getting the country back to a life-affirming, whole-of-government approach to supporting pregnant and parenting women and their children, born and unborn.”

“We are grateful that the Trump administration can bring an end to the weaponization of the United States government against pro-life Americans and unborn children. We believe there is a better way forward for our Republic. We are hopeful for a future where women are given real choices and real support: a future that gives pregnant and parenting women the resources they need to embrace life without feeling the pressure to abort their child. We urge you to seek ways to provide this future to all Americans. The life, safety, freedom, and health of the millions of Americans, born and unborn, depend on it.”

Congressman Aderholt helped lead the letter addressed to Trump.

“I look forward to working with President Trump to roll back the radical abortion policies of the Biden Administration,” Aderholt said, “and reinstate the pro-life, pro-family agenda we worked so hard on during President Trump’s first term!”
