Reps. Mary Miller of Illinois, Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee, and Brian Babin of Texas announced the formation of the caucus Monday in an op-ed in The Washington Stand, a news and commentary publication of the Family Research Council.
For years, we have witnessed a concerted effort by activists on the Left to abolish the natural family.
Today, I am launching the Congressional Family Caucus because I believe we have a moral obligation as servant representatives to protect and conserve the family. pic.twitter.com/WGbbzLxxo4

The congressmen wrote that America has seen “a concerted effort by activists on the Left to abolish the natural family.” “The natural family, a man and a woman committed for life to each other and to their children, was ordained by God as the foundation of our society,” they continued. “The natural family is essential for a nation to prosper because the family is the root of self-government, service, community, and personal responsibility.”
The congressmen, stating that a “happy family is a blessing from God and is foundational to human flourishing,” noted that the caucus’ aim would be to “defend the natural family from attempts by the radical Left to erode this core foundation of our society” and that members would promote “legislation favorable to American families and discuss the effects major legislation will have on the family.”
The representatives further stated that the aim of the “radical Left” is to “replace the natural family with the federal government,” detailing that “[t]he Left advances abortion, fatherlessness, surgical castration, and atheism. These woke progressives attempt to subvert parental rights by eliminating parental consent for abortion and ‘gender transition’ procedures. They fill school curriculums with perverse transgender ideology and racist critical race theory.”
