Issue Position: Sanctity of Life

Our nation was founded upon the belief that all men, regardless of status, are entitled to the most precious of rights: the right to life. We cannot allow this most fundamental value to erode. Human life begins at conception and should end in natural death.

I am dedicated to protecting the sanctity of human life at all stages from the unborn to the terminally ill and the elderly. I will oppose any and all efforts to federally fund and condone abortion and euthanasia. In addition, I will support measures seeking to make human cloning illegal. I will also oppose federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, which shows much less promise in finding cures for diseases than other types of stem cell research and relies entirely upon the destruction of life.

Government exists to protect the lives of its citizens. I will continue to do everything in my power to see that this duty is fulfilled.
