Issue Position: Sanctity of Life

I believe in the sanctity of human life.

Through my personal experience and through a lifetime of involvement in the pro-life cause, I have learned that the pro-abortion lobby has a very low opinion of women in America. Abortion not only kills children, it hurts women.

This is why I actively support organizations like Crisis Pregnancy Centers that provide abortion alternatives. This is why we should do all we can to promote adoption.

There are those who believe that Americans no longer have the character our founders once had -- that we don't have the character to secure the blessings of liberty to our posterity. They want us to accept a culture that worships self above all and choice above everything.

I can think of nothing that strikes a deeper blow against our nation's character than abortion on demand.

So, just as our founders did in Philadelphia in 1776, I believe that we should "mutually pledge to each other our lives our fortunes and our sacred honor" - to, as our Constitution says, "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. " Our posterity. Future generations. Those not yet born.

For this reason, as a member of Congress, I will stand for life.

John Quincy Adams said "Posterity...you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it."

Good use of it. Not when we there have been over 40 million innocent children sacrificed on the altar of choice.
