Abortion / Sanctity of Life: Life begins at conception and ends at natural death.
The pre-born child, whose life begins at fertilization, is a human being created in God’s image. The first duty of the law is to prevent the shedding of innocent blood. It is, therefore, the duty of all civil governments to secure and to safeguard the lives of all, including the pre-born. I oppose abortion and the distribution and use of all abortifacients.I affirm the God-given legal personhood of all PRE-BORN human beings, without exception.
I will resist the passage of any act whereby any state-level restrictions and requirements that are now in place would be eliminated. This includes items such as parental notification of minors undergoing abortions, mandatory waiting periods, informed consent procedures such as showing mothers the ultra-sound view of their baby, and more.
Finally, I also oppose all government “legalization” of euthanasia, infanticide and suicide. In accordance with the provisions of the Fifth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, I oppose any deliberate taking of human life without full, legal due process. I also oppose the harvesting of human fetal stem cells for purposes of commerce or research.
