Group cites "unparalleled record of leadership on Right to Life priorities"
![]() |
Diane Black |
"Pro-life
Tennesseans are extraordinarily grateful to have one of our own leading
the Congressional fight for life," said Brian Harris, president of
Tennessee Right to Life. "For more than a decade Diane Black has
prioritized the protection of human life and has been an effective
champion for the cause of unborn children in our communities, state, and
nation."
While
in the Tennessee Legislature, Diane Black led the fight to place
pro-life Amendment 1 on the statewide ballot for public approval. In
addition, Black sponsored legislation making Tennessee the first state
legislature to prevent abortion from being funded within state health
exchanges following federal passage of the Affordable Care Act. Black
also spearheaded successful efforts to re-direct state health dollars to
ethical health providers and away from abortion facilities operated by
Planned Parenthood in Tennessee.
In
Congress, Black has continued to lead Right to Life efforts by
sponsoring legislation passed by the House to re-direct federal funds
away from Planned Parenthood, to protect conscience rights of medical
professionals and to strengthen adoption tax law to make the process
more affordable.
"Diane
Black has clearly demonstrated herself as one of this nation's most
effective voices for the protection of life," Harris said. "Tennessee
Right to Life strongly urges her re-election to continue the work of
defending the weakest and most vulnerable among us." For more
