Advancing Life and Liberty Through Action

Critical Vote Any Moment

Vote on pro-life FDA nominee could come today

Across the country, pro-life Americans are watching and hoping for leadership anchored in integrity, courage, and science. Today is the first day the Senate committee could vote to confirm Dr. Heidi Overton as the next leader of the Food and Drug Administration.

The vote will be ultra-close and your voice is needed now on Capitol Hill.

  • Dr. Overton has spent her career standing up for patients, challenging broken vaccine systems, and defending principles capable of restoring our health care system.

  • Outspoken in her pro-life convictions, she spent years warning against chemical-abortion pills being handed out with little to no safeguards, regulation, or doctor’s visits.

  • Then she drew attention to the problems arising from powerful hormones being given to gender-confused children for off-label uses the FDA never studied or approved.

Right now, the forces benefiting from today's pro-abortion status quo are hoping to stall Dr. Overton’s nomination and silence her voice. Planned Parenthood calls her a "threat to abortion" and is working overtime to stop her nomination in committee.

That's why your voice is so needed now. Take a minute right now to make your voice heard in the Senate. Flood the Senate with your faxes urging support for pro-life nominee Dr. Heidi Overton.

Dr. Overton did not choose the easy path. When silence was safer, she issued a 2023 report in which she described the two-pill mifepristone/misoprostol abortion cocktail as “dangerous to women” and “chemical abortion on demand.” She asked the tough questions. And she published the truth when it was unpopular.

Now she has the opportunity to lead the most powerful government agency responsible to keep our drugs and food safe.

Today is not just another day on the Senate calendar — it is the battleground that will help decide the future of the health of our nation ... whether babies live and women are spared the torturous pain and dangerous side effects common to chemical abortion.

Send an urgent fax to as many senators as possible to support Dr. Overton.

With your much-needed financial help now, Liberty Counsel Action will keep exposing the truth, mobilizing grassroots action, tracking every regulatory move, and refusing to let ideology rewrite medicine. But that work continues only because people like you choose to stand in the gap on behalf of babies and their mothers.

Please help us press this fight forward with a recurring monthly gift or the most generous single gift you can give today.

With your support, we will keep the pressure on, demanding that the agency charged with protecting Americans finally puts woman and children (born and preborn) first.

God bless you.

Mat Staver, Chairman
John Stemberger, President
Liberty Counsel Action
