  • "As a devoted Catholic, I am against abortion and will respect and defend the right to life at any opportunity." (www.johnclarkforcongress.com)

I have always been staunchly pro-life, fighting partial-birth abortion early in my senate service, and most recently supporting the heartbeat bill that protects the life of the child and the life of the mother, even when leadership did not. Life does begin at conception and should be protected." (rusty4congress.com)
