SANCTITY OF LIFE

I believe life begins at conception. This is a fact supported by science. However, Roe v. Wade is the law of the land. Until such time that the US Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, a moral dilemma will divide our nation.

My beliefs on this issue are formed by my Christian faith. I understand that people I respect and admire will sometimes disagree.  Some will argue that abortion is a right, or necessary, or perhaps unfortunate, but I have never known anyone to say that abortion is a good thing.  Because I care about life, and because I understand this is a moral issue in addition to being a legal issue, I will always answer this question honestly and without hesitation.

I believe there is more to this conversation than abortion. Life is also about education and healthcare and clean water.  Life is about respect for human dignity from the moment of conception until the time of natural death.
