Issue Position: Protecting Life

Issue Position

I am, and always have been, pro life. From the miracle of conception to a dignified death, life is precious and should be protected. The federal government has no business forcing taxpayers to pay for abortions.
Having said that..
I believe that it is not the place of a state legislator to engage in social issues directly. Those kinds of decisions are reserved to the people. I do oppose partial-birth abortion, however should the life of the mother be at stake, I refuse to be a factor in the tough decisions families must make.
From a political perspective, I will Reject any legislation providing governmental funding of abortions in our state.
I do support parental notification/parental consent legislation.
