I believe that life begins at conception and the right to life is something to be protected, especially for the unborn. I understand that some women are not prepared to raise a child. That's why I'm also a strong advocate of adoption. When I was practicing law with my wife, for example, we provided legal services related to adoption free of charge to any couple trying to adopt. I also served on the board of Hannah House, a non-profit crisis pregnancy center that focused on adoption as an alternative to abortion. As a member of the House Adoption Caucus, I've tried to raise awareness of adoption and foster parent opportunities right here in southern Indiana.
