Issue Position: Life

Issue Position

The Declaration of Independence states "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". It is no accident that Life is listed first. For without life, there is no liberty and without liberty there is no pursuit of Happiness.

To define the beginning of life at any point other than the union of a viable egg and sperm would be arbitrary. To define the end of life at any point other than natural death would likewise be arbitrary and in opposition to the Declaration of Independence. It is our responsibility to defend life from beginning to end. I have consistently earned the endorsement of Georgia Right to Life.
