Issue Position: Valuing Life

Issue Position

In the opening lines of our nation's Declaration of Independence John Hancock transcribed these words… "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men…"

For over 200 years these words, combined with our nation's strong Judeo Christian values guided how we valued and protected life in our society. We understood that each life, whether preborn, terminally ill, or elderly, was precious and our obligation to protect.

I am 100% prolife and as your State Representative, I have supported legislation that protects life and voted to eliminate any state or federal funding that contributes to the harm of our most vulnerable citizens.

In the 2017-2018 session we passed legislation that banned state health insurance plans from covering abortions. Also, I continued to advocate to eliminate all public funding for abortions. I will continue to fight for increased support for women who choose to keep their child.
