Support parental rights and protect young girls!
August 20, 2025
Dear Friends,
If you are a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or friend of someone who has children, you already understand the dangers lurking everywhere once children are old enough to venture out on their own.
One thing parents shouldn’t have to worry about is anyone taking their minor daughters across state lines to have an abortion, and yet we know it happens.
But a new bill introduced in Congress aims to safeguard minor girls and preserve parental rights in states where babies are protected from abortion and where previous laws called for at least one parent to be notified before a daughter’s abortion.
H.R. 4964, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives this month by Republican Representatives David Taylor of Ohio, Bon Onder of Missouri and Mark Harris of North Carolina.
“No one should be taking children across state lines to receive secret abortions behind the backs of that child’s parents. Our nation’s laws should protect our children from vulnerability, not open them up to coercion from oppressors trying to evade accountability from parents and the law,” Taylor said in a press release. “As states like Illinois and California promote abortions and keep parents in the dark about their child’s health, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act would help put parents back in the equation while protecting both their child and the lives of the unborn.”
This legislation, which was introduced many years ago in Congress and had my strong support back then, came very close to becoming law, except for the unwillingness of Democrats in Congress to do anything that would harm the abortion industry.
Times have changed. Americans have awakened to the extremism of the abortion industry, and the way it not only kills children in the womb, but abuses children who are already born.
Moreover, there is a new concern in America today for parental rights. And in the era of the Dobbs decision, when states have more authority to restrict and prohibit abortion, a law like this makes more sense than ever.
Will you join the effort to get this vital, common-sense bill out of committee and to the House floor for a vote?
I am asking you to call your House member, Republican or Democrat, and urge them to support this bill. Our nation’s girls are counting on you.
