NATIONAL RIGHT TO LIFE PRAISES SELECTION
OF REP. TOM PRICE AS SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES


WASHINGTON – The National Right to Life Committee, the federation of 50 state right-to-life affiliates and more than 3,000 local chapters, today praised President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of U.S. Rep. Tom Price, M.D. (R-GA) to serve as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.

“Dr. Tom Price will bring to the Department of Health and Human Services a strong record in defense of innocent human life,”
said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “Dr. Price will empower the Department of Health and Human Services to protect the most vulnerable members of our society: the unborn and their mothers, the elderly, and the medically dependent and disabled.”

Throughout his tenure in the United States House of Representatives, which began in 2005, Dr. Price has a 100% pro-life voting record.  He is a co-sponsor of major pro-life legislation, including the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (which would protect from abortion unborn children at 20 weeks fetal age or later, who are capable of feeling pain), and the Health Care Conscience Rights Act (which would prevent any level of government from discriminating against health care providers who decline to participate in abortions, and would counter regulatory mandates that violate the religious or moral convictions of those who purchase or provide health insurance). Dr. Price has also been a leader on healthcare, proposing reforms that would dismantle Obamacare’s disastrous rationing mechanisms.

Founded in 1968, the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of 50 state right-to-life affiliates and more than 3,000 local chapters, is the nation's oldest and largest grassroots pro-life organization. Recognized as the flagship of the pro-life movement, NRLC works through legislation and education to protect innocent human life from abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide and euthanasia.
