(CNS News) -- After the virtual March for Life this year on Jan. 29, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) announced that he was reintroducing into the Senate two of his pro-life bills, the Life at Conception Act and the Defund Planned Parenthood Act.
“Today I proudly join thousands of you nationwide who are marching to celebrate life as well as defend the innocent,” said Paul, a medical doctor. “Abortion providers like Planned Parenthood will tell you differently, but every single life matters, including the unborn.”

“I was proud to force the Senate to vote on defunding this organization,” said Paul. “Our nation cannot expect to fully protect and maintain our other rights, if we do not respect the fundamental right to life even starting in the womb.”
