WASHINGTON, D.C.  – U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts announced his co-sponsorship of three pieces of pro-life legislation, following his attendance this weekend at the Nebraska March for Life.

Sen. Ricketts professes his support for:

  1. establishing a permanent prohibition on federal funding for abortion
  2. an act to make it a federal crime for physicians to perform an abortion on a minor from another state without parental consent
  3. an act blocking distribution of abortion drugs through telemedicine or mail.

Sen. Ricketts said he is proud of Nebraskans who participated in the March for Life and promised to champion the pro-life movement.
