U.S. Senator Steve Daines, who represents Montana in the Senate and participates in several key committees, posted a series of tweets on January 14, 2026, addressing meetings with local officials and expressing concerns about the safety of abortion medication.
In his first post of the day, Daines wrote, “Productive meeting with the Montana League of Cities and Towns today in D.C. Grateful for their advocacy for MT’s municipalities.” (posted January 14, 2026). Later that day, he commented on abortion medication, stating, “The abortion pill is harmful to women- there’s no doubt about it. If abortion advocates truly cared about “women’s health,” they’d be sounding the alarm.” (posted January 14, 2026). In a subsequent tweet on the same subject, Daines added: “The abortion pill isn’t safe for women. Thank you @SenBillCassidy for your leadership on this.” (posted January 14, 2026).
