Daines: We Must Stand for Life, Prevent Taxpayer Dollars from Funding Abortion

U.S. SENATE —U.S. Senator Steve Daines today fought to prevent taxpayer dollars from funding abortions.

We have had five bipartisan COVID relief packages and not one of them included any provisions that would undermine pro-life protections,” Daines said. “Preventing taxpayer dollars from funding abortions is something a majority of Americans agree with. I’m very disappointed to see

Daines Votes No on Biden’s HHS Nominee Xavier Becerra

U.S. SENATE —U.S. Senator Steve Daines today voted AGAINST President Biden’s Health and Human Services Secretary Nominee Xavier Becerra in the Senate Finance Committee.  “Xavier Becerra is as radical as it gets.

As Secretary of Health and Human Services, Becerra would oversee a $1.3 trillion budget, the largest in the executive branch, and have the responsibility of administering the country’s health programs giving him broad authority to enact his pro-abortion agenda. When Daines previously asked Becerra to
