I am unapologetically prolife. From the very founding of this great nation, the words of Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness", has been embedded in the fabric of our nation and times cannot change that truth.
Life is the fundamental issue, without it liberty and pursuit of happiness is naught. And it is noteworthy that these rights are not granted by government, but are to be protected by the government, something we have failed to do for 43 years.
I will not change my position on life, nor will I ever shy from an open discussion on this issue or supporting alternatives to abortion, or working hard to make abortion unthinkable in our state and nation. I have been blessed to participate on behalf of the unborn child and its mother.
