Issue Position: Protecting Life
Issue Position
I believe in the sanctity of life, that every life is precious and has value. I believe that Roe vs. Wade should be overturned so that state legislatures and Congress can pass laws to protect the unborn. I oppose using tax-payer dollars to fund abortions.
