Issue Position: Pro-Life

Issue Position

Although this is a highly controversial and emotional issue, I will state my position as clearly as I am able. I believe the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision will one day be overturned. Just as the 1857 Dred Scott v. Sanford and the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court cases were overturned several years after their majority decisions, Roe will one day be overturned. The Declaration of Independence states that our Creator (GOD) has endowed Americans with certain unalienable rights -- the first among those is life. Science and technological advances continue to prove what scripture has always taught: That we were known to God inside the womb. And today, unique life attributes are able to be exhibited in 3-D ultrasound technology -- breakthroughs in understanding that simply weren't available to Justice Blackmun in 1973. But pro-life doesn't just stop at birth. Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat who is pro-life, we should advocate for our young people in this state and across the nation. Too many children live in abject poverty and the only warm meal they receive is in the school cafeteria. We cannot just say we are pro-life up to nine months and then once the child has been born revert back to a policy of salutary neglect.
