January 8, 2019

On Monday, Republican Congressman Mike Rogers (AL-3) announced that he is cosponsoring the “Life at Conception Act of 2019,” a bill that declares life begins at conception and gives legal protection to unborn children from the very start.

In a statement, Rogers said, “As we approach the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, I am always reminded of how precious life is.”

“As the father of three beautiful children, I never take for granted the gift of life and I will always stand up for the rights of the unborn. Those unborn babies can’t speak for themselves, but I will be their voice here in Congress,” he added.

Rogers serves as ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security in the newly convened 116th Congress.
