Life. Life begins at conception. I have 5 children and 2 grandchildren and each of them are a blessing from God. I will relentlessly fight to protect the sanctity of life. My wife and I have prayed with unwed mothers and provided support and guidance for those facing tough life decisions. On Capitol Hill, the Hyde Amendment is a critical legislative provision barring the use of federal funds to pay for abortion. I fully support this amendment and as a member of Congress I will ensure federal funding never goes to support abortion, including groups like Planned Parenthood.
