Sen. Lee Commends President Trump for Implementing the ‘Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance’ Executive Order

  

WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) issued the following statement Monday after President Trump detailed his implementation of the “Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance” executive order:

 

“I commend President Trump for detailing how we will implement his ‘Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance’ executive order, one of the several bold steps President Trump has already taken to protect life in foreign assistance.  It is now Congress’ turn to do what they can to protect the unborn by turning ‘Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance’ executive order into law.  A first step could be to pass S.Res.15, a resolution I introduced expressing the sense of the Senate that the Mexico City policy should be permanently established, and then we can advance additional measures to safeguard life.”
