Values


On the issue of abortion, I believe that life begins at conception and I am adamantly opposed to abortion, except in cases that would prevent the death of the mother. Our nation was built on the principle that we are all endowed by our Creator with a right to life and liberty. I am also a cosponsor of H.R. 356: the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act. This bill requires an abortion provider to notify a pregnant woman that Congress has determined that there is substantial evidence that the process will cause pain to an unborn child. I am also adamantly against human cloning and the use of federal funds for embryonic stem cell research.

In Congress, I will continue to work with my colleagues to promote compassionate alternatives to abortion, help women and families in crisis through pregnancy centers, encourage adoption, and support federal legislation requiring parental notification and waiting periods for minors.

I also support a Constitutional amendment to defend the sanctity of marriage by defining and protecting marriage as a union of man and woman as husband and wife. To further this effort, I am an original cosponsor of the Marriage Protection Amendment.

With activist judges and local officials throughout the country trying to redefine marriage, it’s time for us to stop these few activists from imposing their agenda on our culture. We must protect our family values as they have come under attack from activist judges that choose to legislate from the bench. This amendment will protect marriage from a handful of unelected judges and put it back in the hands of the American people and the elected representatives of every state.

It’s time that we stand up to defend our family values and protect the sanctity of marriage, family and the unborn.
