Sen. John Kennedy

Kennedy receives “A+” rating for championing pro-life values

January 18, 2024

By Office of Sen. John Kennedy

MADISONVILLE, La. – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) has earned an “A+” rating for his commitment
to protecting the lives of the unborn through his pro-life legislative record during the first
session of the 118th Congress.

The Susan B. Anthony List’s national scorecard recognizes lawmakers who have consistently
championed life through their voting records and legislative leadership.

“All human life, whether its 82 years or 82 seconds old, is precious. I will never stop
defending America’s defenseless unborn children,” said Kennedy.

During the first session of the 118th Congress, Kennedy cosponsored legislation to prevent
the Biden administration’s Department of Defense from facilitating abortions. The senator
also cosponsored the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act to permanently stop federal
funding for abortions.

In the 117th Congress, Kennedy opposed using taxpayer money to fund abortions and voted
against Democrats’ attempt to force states to legalize abortion up to the point of a child’s
birth. He also helped lead an effort to defund Planned Parenthood.

Prior to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization,
Kennedy co-led the pro-life bicameral amicus brief in the case of June Medical Services v.
Russo.

In addition, the senator authored the Pregnant Women Health and Safety Act to protect the
health of women and children and the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act, which would make it a
crime to abort a child based on his or her gender.
