Republican Representatives Saddler, Sumner, Prax, Ruffridge, and Stutes voted with the Abortion Lobby April 4, 2023, in voting against the ONLY budget amendment that may have saved hundreds of babies.
Representative Stutes would never vote to protect babies’ lives, but even without her vote, the amendment would have passed, and babies’ lives could have been saved.
Hundreds of babies might have had a fighting chance had these Republicans honored the children at risk and the pro-life Alaskans they represent.

The Amendment, Number 36, would have protected babies from being killed by abortion in next year’s operating budget by focusing on a few key budgeting objectives.
First, it prohibited the State from transferring any money into the Medicaid Services account for abortions.
