Abortion

I am pro-life and I support protecting life from the moment of conception.  I believe all life, in every stage of development, deserves to be safeguarded.  That is why I co-sponsored H.R. 1079, the RU-486 Suspension and Review Act, to suspend the abortion pill from reaching the pharmacy counters.  Not only do I disagree with the abortive features of this drug, but it also has been known to put a woman's health at risk.  I also have worked in Congress to provide more funding for abstinence education programs, to help stop unwanted pregnancies from occurring and saving our youth from life changing sexually transmitted diseases.  My vote in Congress will continue to uphold the dignity of human life.
