A new nationwide caucus is seeking to organize and recruit pro-life women to run for political office and pass legislation that will defend human life from the moment of conception.
"We need strong, articulate women in Washington and in state legislatures who will boldly support policies that respect and promote life," said Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.). "I'm excited to support the National Pro-life Women's Caucus as it builds up the next generation of pro-life women leaders."
The creation of the caucus was announced on June 10 by the Susan B. Anthony List, an organization that supports pro-life women in pursuing political office.
The National Pro-life Women's Caucus will work to "foster community between pro-life women lawmakers across the country." It will encourage pro-life women to run for higher office and help them find the resources necessary to pass pro-life laws.
