PROTECTING LIFE
Standing Up for Life
As a member of Congress, I have a 100 percent pro-life voting record and have consistently supported a ban on abortion. For my work to promote a culture of life, I have consistently received an A+ on the Susan B. Anthony List pro-life scorecard.
I am proud to stand beside all those who work to secure the right to life of unborn Americans. The truth is that every human being, born and unborn, is created in the image and likeness of God and has infinite dignity and value. I’ll continue fighting in Congress to defend those who cannot speak for themselves.
He’s lying.
