"I have consistently affirmed that the defense of our unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is a fundamental duty of mine as an elected member of Congress. I am proud of my 100 percent pro-life voting record and my support for the Protect Life Act, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, and the repeal of the pro-abortion Obamacare health care law." - Congressman Mike Kelly
Congressman Kelly has distinguished himself in Congress as someone who is willing to stand up for the rights of the unborn and religious freedom. Rep. Kelly has supported legislation that would end the practice of sex-selection abortion, prevent federal funding of abortion, provide "conscience protections" for health care providers who are morally opposed to abortion, and defend the First Amendment rights of all Americans whose religious freedoms has been threatened by pro-abortion policies.
Specifically, Rep. Kelly is a co-sponsor of the No Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Act, the Protect Life Act, the Life at Conception Act, and the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act, among other life-affirming pieces of legislation.
For his work on pro-life issues, Kelly's re-election bid is endorsed by the Pennsylvania Pro Life Federation, the state's largest group of its kind.
