Executive Session
Sen. John Thune
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 - "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."
