"...to protect the precious gift of human life from fertilization to natural death."
This quote is taken from the Mission Statement of the "Right-to-Life of Michigan" organization and it expresses very clearly Kurt Damrow's beliefs and purpose.
Some people think that Pro-Life is just about apposing abortion. Granted, abortion is the predominant issue but there is much more to supporting a pro-Life position. In the time span between fertilization to natural death, much can happen that threatens human life, like infanticide, child abuse, senior abuse, and euthanasia just to name a few issues.

You will learn in this section that in his time in office Damrow did quite a bit regarding protecting and promoting the quality of life.
