Issue Position: Pro-Life

Issue Position

We are commanded in the Old and New Testaments to defend the most vulnerable. The lives and rights of unborn children are under attack every day and we must stand up and speak for those who do not yet have voices.

My record has an A rating from the Susan B. Anthony List: Pro-Life Scorecard. As your Senator, I have and will continue to protect unborn children by opposing any legislation that would expand the practice of abortion or allow your tax dollars to pay for the murder of an unborn child.

Abortion advocates understand they are losing the debate based on science, so they resort to dehumanizing the child. As a doctor, I know every unborn baby is a life deserving a future.

Democrats have blocked our legislation to outlaw abortion after 20 weeks, the point where it has been scientifically proven unborn babies can feel pain. They also opposed my legislation to require medical treatment for a child born alive after a botched abortion attempt. In some states across the country, Democrats have introduced and in some cases passed legislation that could allow abortions all the way up until birth.

We don't judge our progress by laws passed, but by the movement of our culture, and we can see evidence that our culture is moving toward the value of life. However, abortion advocates are doing everything they can to push the pendulum in the opposite direction. For this reason, we need pro-life representatives in Congress to continue this fight.
