Abortion

I am 100% pro-life and believe we must protect the sanctity of human life.  I spent many hours volunteering for the New Hope Center, a local crisis pregnancy center that encourages pro-life decisions.

If I am elected to the U.S. Senate I will join the Pro-Life Caucus, support a Human Life Amendment, and work to ensure that the federal government protects and defends individuals' right to life, including the elderly, terminally ill and unborn children.

I am very concerned about the direction of our government on this issue.  Some versions of health care reform bills in the House and Senate would provide government-sponsored insurance that would include coverage for abortions.  I believe that is wrong and will do everything in my power to prevent taxpayer-funded abortions.

Additionally, I understand that President Barack Obama has issued an executive order overturning the Mexico City policy, first implemented by President Ronald Reagan to prevent foreign aid funds from being used to perform or promote abortions abroad.  If elected, I will co-sponsor legislation to reinstate that policy.
