Jefferson penned in our Declaration of Independence that men are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. I will oppose any attempt to expand government funding of abortions or organizations that perform abortions.

Mike believes that life begins at conception and that every unborn human is deserving of the same rights as every other human being.

Mike understands that “Roe v Wade” made abortions legal for those women seeking them. He also believes that there should not be any Federal funding of any organization that supports, advocates, or performs abortions and will vote against such funding.

Mike believes that the family is the foundation of our society and the continued expansion of abortion rights only destroys that foundation, not strengthens it. He will support the counseling of unwed mothers who seek abortions to the opportunities of adoption as an alternative prior to performing the procedure. He believes every woman should be properly informed to the realities of abortion, development stages of an unborn child, and to be done so objectively and realistically before an abortion is performed, and a waiting period be required after first seeking an abortion.

Mike supports the right of a parent to know before an abortion is performed on their child under age 18.

Mike believes that the preservation of the life of the innocent, unborn child is a mark of a great society and only serves to strengthen our country by respecting all life at every stage of development. When plant and animal life are more coveted than human life, it does not speak well of the value we place on humanity and it’s survival.
