At the inaugural Missouri Prayer Breakfast, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., announced the signing of a new Declaration for Life to restore the foundation on which America was founded: the defense of human dignity and the unalienable right to life.
The senator called on members of Congress, beyond Missouri and pro-life Republicans, to join him in signing the pledge.
“This Declaration for Life, written by pastors, is calling on everyday Christians across America to stand for life and confront the scourge of chemical abortion,” Hawley said. “We want to call on lawmakers from both parties to sign this declaration and support protecting human life in law. It’s time to take a vote on my legislation to ban the chemical abortion drug mifepristone.”
“This year marks America’s 250th anniversary. That milestone invites us to reckon with the convictions on which the country was built,” the Declaration for Life reads. “The Declaration of Independence gives us three examples of ‘unalienable’ rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Life is the first of those rights because it is the condition of the others. It is thus the most foundational of all rights.”
The declaration calls the “crisis of chemical abortion” the front line in the defense of life. It calls for states to adopt laws to protect life, as well as for Congress to “end the scourge of mail-order abortions by banning the abortion drug.”
Hawley also called on Congress to support the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act, his bill to ban the chemical abortion drug. Republican Sens. Tommy Tuberville, John Cornyn, Marsha Blackburn, Ted Budd, Bernie Moreno, James Lankford, and Mike Rounds have all co-sponsored the bill.

Hawley argues that the chemical abortion drug is dangerous for women. The bill would withdraw the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of mifepristone for abortion and open a pathway for those harmed by the drug to sue its manufacturers. Mifepristone is currently under review by the FDA, and pro-life leaders and groups anticipate an announcement from the FDA soon.
Sen. Steve Daines told the Daily Signal that he asked about the study this week and was told the agency plans to have the review completed and released by the end of the year, keeping the commitment it made to him.
