Ted Cruz Calls for June to Be Recognized as “Life Month”

Texas Senator Ted Cruz is making a bold move to honor preborn babies — by officially designating June as “Life Month.”

Cruz introduced a new resolution to honor the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s monumental decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022 — a ruling that sent shockwaves across the country and empowered states to protect preborn children once again. Texas led the charge, becoming the first state to ban abortion.

Now, Cruz wants to ensure we never forget this turning point.

“Every human life is worthy of protection, and it is especially incumbent upon Americans and lawmakers to protect the most vulnerable among us,” Cruz said in a statement.

Momentum for this idea is growing. In the House of Representatives, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) introduced a similar resolution and delivered a powerful call for the nation to face the reality of abortion.

“For decades abortion advocates have gone to extraordinary lengths to ignore, trivialize, and cover up the battered baby victim, fostering a culture of denial, disrespect, and bias against the unborn,” Smith said.

“This resolution designating June as Life Month highlights our moral imperative to protect innocent children’s lives from extermination. It calls our nation to reject willful blindness to the realities of abortion—brutally dismembering helpless babies with sharp knife-like curettes or poisoning babies with pills that literally starve them to death and often result in their bodies being flushed down a toilet. This resolution affirms that the cruel injustice of abortion need not be forever: instead, we must defend the unborn and show love and compassion to both mother and child through meaningful assistance and support.”

And the need for this couldn’t be clearer. In 2023 alone, Planned Parenthood committed over 402,000 abortions — its highest number ever. That’s more than 1,100 babies lost every single day. One in five people who walk into a Planned Parenthood choose abortion.

If passed, this resolution would give Americans a powerful opportunity every June to celebrate the value of every life — and remind the nation that the fight to protect the most vulnerable is far from over.

Cruz remains committed to seeing this through:
“Designating June as Life Month is a recommitment to the American principle that every life has dignity,” he emphasized once again. “I call on my colleagues in the Senate to swiftly pass this resolution.”
