Issue Position: Cherishing Life. Safeguarding our Freedoms. Reclaiming our American Values

Issue Position

Jerry Moran's commitment to the sanctity of life, defense of religious freedom and safeguarding our freedoms from attack has never wavered.

Jerry Moran is, and always has been, pro-life. He believes life is precious and deserves our respect and protection. Science reveals that each human life begins at conception, and Jerry believes the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being. This right is sacred.

He was one of the first members of the Senate to co-sponsor legislation to ban the use of taxpayer dollars to fund Planned Parenthood following the ghastly revelations that they were selling fetal tissue from aborted babies. Jerry publicly called on Senate Republican leadership to advance the legislation quickly and make it a top priority for the Republican Senate.

Following the revelations of the practices of convicted abortion provider Kermit Gosnell, Jerry sponsored a ban on abortions performed after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Furthermore, he believes taxpayer dollars should not be used to fund the end of innocent human life through elective abortion, and he has repeatedly voted to prevent the use of public money for this practice.

Jerry Moran has fought to make certain Americans are not forced to violate their religious beliefs or face penalties if they refuse to do so. He believes that our courts should not overstep their bounds by inserting themselves in important policy debates best left to the democratic process, not judicial fiat, and has refused to support the confirmation of judges who do not reflect that philosophy.

It's time for us to say no to Washington mandates and overreach because far too often they are trampling on our special way of life. States' rights are guaranteed in our Constitution and must be upheld.
