Rep. Michael Guest (R-MS-03) on Wednesday joined the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, a bipartisan organization of House Members that works with pro-life grassroots organizations to promote life-affirming policies, according to a news release from his office.

This announcement was made on the eve of the March for Life, an event advocating pro-life legislation in Washington, D.C.

“By joining the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, I join other Members of Congress in our mission to support life,” Guest said in a statement, “In fact, this week I am affirming my dedication to pro-life policies by cosponsoring legislation declaring life begins at conception and by signing a letter to President Trump encouraging his continued support of the pro-life movement and advocating the use of his presidential veto powers should any pro-abortion or anti-life legislation reach his desk.”

Guest cosponsored H.R. 616 – The Life at Conception Act of 2019. This legislation would ensure that the unborn are entitled to legal protections by declaring that life begins at conception, according to a news release.

Guest will be able to work with Pro-Life Caucus staff who assist members in developing legislation, conducting oversight, and reviewing pending legislation to ensure pro-life policies are retained, according to the news release.

In addition, Guest signed a letter to President Trump encouraging him to veto any bill that would weaken existing pro-life protections that shield taxpayer funds from financing abortions.

More than 160 members of the House of Representatives also signed the letter, according to a news release. The text of the letter can be found at https://bit.ly/2QQo5aV.
