Riley Gaines Speaks at TPUSA Student Action Summit

Riley Gaines was featured speaker at the July 2025 Turning Point USA Student Action Summit. She spoke strongly against what she termed the “dehumanization of women,” highlighting a controversial Wisconsin budget bill that attempted to redefine "mother" as "inseminated person" and "father" as "natural parent." She warned such language shifts reflect a deeper cultural assault on womanhood.

Now expecting her first child—a daughter—Gaines shared the emotional impact seeing her baby’s heartbeat and movements has had on her convictions. She described her position as “radically pro-life” and emphasized how motherhood has made the issue feel deeply personal.

Riley Gaines encouraged young people (Gen Z) to recognize the moral weight of the moment and to stay engaged in the political process.
