  • "I strongly believe in the protection of innocent life. I believe that every life is sacred. I also recognize that abortion is a deeply personal and polarizing issue and one where the Supreme Court has spoken. Until Roe v Wade is overturned, whatever action we take must comport with the state of the law as it now exists. I believe protecting the unborn shouldn’t simply be a fundraising tool or an empty slogan, which is why my focus is on building consensus around common sense legislation that can be enacted today to begin to reign in the horrors of abortion. I have said that the very first bill that I will file as a U.S. Congressman is Born Alive legislation identical to the bill filed here in NH by State Senator Regina Birdsell."
