Issue Position: Sanctity of Life

Issue Position

When I ran for Congress in 2010, I made it clear that fighting to protect the unborn would be among my top priorities. Shortly after being elected, I joined the Congressional Prayer Caucus, the Values Action Team, and the Bipartisan Pro-Life Caucus. I immediately began to fight for the House of Representatives to take many important votes such as the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act and the Protect Life Act, which amends ObamaCare to stop your tax-payer dollars from being used to pay for abortions and protects doctors from having to participate in a procedure that they do not want to do.

I have also introduced H.R. 5646, the Homeland Security Respect for Life Act, which closes a loop hole that allows taxpayer funded abortions for detainees. The language from my bill was inserted into the appropriations package that provides funding for the Department of Homeland Security and it successfully passed the House of Representatives.

The sanctity of life is close to my heart and dear to my family. Protecting life beginning with conception is a value that cannot be compromised and something that I will continue to fight for as your voice in Washington, D.C.
