WASHINGTON — National Right to Life, the nation’s oldest and largest pro-life organization, today proudly announced its endorsement of Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth for Governor of Minnesota.

“Lisa Demuth has a strong and consistent record of supporting both mothers and their unborn children,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “Her commitment to protecting innocent human life and supporting women and families is clear through both her leadership and her voting record. National Right to Life is proud to endorse her candidacy for governor.”

Demuth’s pro-life leadership stands in sharp contrast to the record of the presumptive DFL nominee, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar. Throughout her career in the Senate, Klobuchar has repeatedly supported taxpayer funding of abortion, supported gruesome partial-birth abortions, opposed protections for babies born alive after an abortion, and backed legislation that would expand abortion with virtually no limits.

“Amy Klobuchar has embraced an extreme abortion agenda that is far outside the mainstream of Minnesota values,” Tobias said. “Minnesotans deserve a governor who respects the dignity and value of every human life, born and unborn.”

Tobias added that Demuth’s compassionate approach reflects the growing desire among Americans for leaders who support women, children, and families rather than promoting abortion.

“The people of Minnesota deserve a governor who recognizes that every human life has inherent worth,” Tobias said. “Lisa Demuth’s record demonstrates principled leadership, compassion, and respect for life, and we are honored to support her campaign for governor.”

WASHINGTON — National Right to Life proudly congratulates its longtime General Counsel, James Bopp Jr., on receiving the 2026 Leadership in Law Lifetime Achievement Award from The Indiana Lawyer.

The award, presented annually by The Indiana Lawyer, recognizes attorneys whose careers show exceptional achievement in the legal profession, service to their communities, and commitment to mentoring future generations of lawyers. The Lifetime Achievement Award honors attorneys with at least 25 years of distinguished service whose contributions extend beyond the practice of law. 

“Jim Bopp has dedicated his extraordinary legal career to defending constitutional freedoms and protecting the most vulnerable members of the human family,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “His legal insight, unwavering integrity, and tireless commitment to the pro-life cause have shaped the movement for decades and helped secure historic victories for unborn children and their mothers.”

As General Counsel for National Right to Life, Bopp played a central role in developing and implementing the long-term legal strategy that ultimately led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022.

“Jim Bopp’s legal leadership has left an indelible mark not only on the pro-life movement, but on American constitutional law itself,” Tobias said. “National Right to Life is deeply grateful for his decades of counsel, friendship, and principled advocacy.”

According to The Indiana Lawyer, the award recognizes attorneys “whose exemplary life’s work merits singular recognition.”

In accepting the honor, Bopp said, “I am thrilled and humbled by this honor from the highly respected Indiana Lawyer and from my legal peers. It is a testament to the fine associate lawyers who have joined me in our mission to advance the conservative cause and the wonderful support I have received from my wife, Tina, and my family. I have been incredibly blessed in my life, my law practice, and my community and political endeavors.”

WASHINGTON — National Right to Life expressed deep disappointment today following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that allows loosened regulations surrounding the abortion drug mifepristone to remain in place while broader legal and scientific questions continue to be debated.

“This decision is deeply troubling because it leaves women exposed to powerful abortion drugs,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “Women facing unexpected pregnancies deserve real medical care and support, not a one-size-fits-all mail-order abortion system that minimizes risks and leaves women isolated during medical emergencies.”

Under President Biden, the FDA expanded access to mifepristone through telehealth prescribing and mail delivery. Louisiana and other states have argued that the agency failed to adequately consider the impact on women’s health, emergency medical systems, and state authority to regulate medical practice. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily blocked the Biden-era FDA rule that allowed abortion pills containing mifepristone to be distributed through the mail without an in-person medical visit.

“When abortion drugs can be ordered online with minimal medical oversight and shipped directly to homes, women become more vulnerable to coercion, manipulation, and exploitation,” Tobias said. “There have already been disturbing reports of abusive partners obtaining abortion drugs and administering them to women without their knowledge or consent. A regulatory system with weaker safeguards makes these crimes easier to commit and harder to prevent.”

Ongoing concerns include incomplete adverse event reporting, emergency room visits linked to chemical abortion complications, and the lack of meaningful long-term study regarding the effects of increasingly unrestricted distribution of abortion drugs.

Tobias added, “The evidence and concerns surrounding chemical abortion remain serious and unresolved.”

National Right to Life will continue advocating for policies that protect women and their unborn children.
