Politician
Feb. 25, 2020
Tweet - "It's horrifying to think that in 2017, the number of babies killed by abortion was roughly equivalent to the population of South Dakota. Abortion denies unique, individual human beings the most basic of human rights -- the right to life."
Sen. John Thune
Feb. 25, 2020
Tweet - "The #prolife bills in the Senate today are a chance for us to draw a line in the sand and make it clear that -- no matter what some extreme Democrats may say -- we believe that all children, whether born alive in a hospital or an abortion clinic, deserve protection & medical care."
Sen. John Thune
Feb. 25, 2020
Tweet - "LIVE: I'm about to speak on the #SenateFloor about the rights of unborn children & the two commonsense bills the Senate is working on this week to help to defend those rights."
Sen. John Thune
Feb. 25, 2020
Tweet - "These 2 #prolife bills should've been bipartisan. Every one of us ought to agree that infants born alive during an abortion should receive the same care that any baby would receive, and - at the very least - we shouldn't be aborting babies after the point that they can feel pain."
Sen. John Thune
Feb. 25, 2020
Tweet - "Very sad to witness my Democrat colleagues block a bill that would simply require that babies who survive abortions and enter this world ALIVE receive the same care that any human baby would receive at birth. It is incomprehensible to me how this could not be a bipartisan bill."
Sen. John Thune

Sen. John Thune
Jan. 24, 2020
Tweet - "A warm welcome to the thousands of Americans who are in D.C. today for the #MarchForLife. Many have traveled from across the country, including South Dakota, to help defend the defenseless, and I want to thank everyone who has stood up for the unborn."
