Young, Cruz Lead Resolution Designating June as “Life Month”
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Todd Young (R-Ind.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) introduced a resolution to designate June as “Life Month” and mark the anniversary of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade in June 2022. The resolution also recognizes the dignity of human life, commends those who promote life, and encourages policymakers to continue providing resources to empower women and families to choose life.
“Hoosiers have always been leaders in the pro-life movement, giving a voice to the voiceless and walking alongside those committed to choosing life. I’m proud to lead this resolution that affirms the sanctity of human life and recognizes the efforts by champions of life to provide care and resources to pregnant mothers and families in need,” said Senator Young.
