Life begins at conception

I believe life begins at conception and that we should encourage a culture that values life--from the unborn, to the young child abandoned by their parents, to the senior residing alone in a nursing facility. Source: 2014 House campaign website, DavidJolly.com, "Issues" , Mar 11, 2014

No family planning assistance that includes abortion.

Jolly co-sponsored Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act

Prohibits providing any federal family planning assistance to an entity unless the entity certifies that, during the period of such assistance, the entity will not perform, and will not provide any funds to any other entity that performs, an abortion. Excludes an abortion where:

the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or an act of incest; or
a physician certifies that the woman suffered from a physical disorder, injury, or illness that would place the woman in danger of death unless an abortion is performed, including a condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy.

Excludes hospitals from such requirement so long as the hospital does not provide funds to any non-hospital entity that performs an abortion. Source: HR.217/S.135 13-HR0217 on Jan 4, 2013

Opposes public funding for abortion services.

Jolly opposes the CC survey question on Planned Parenthood

The Christian Coalition Voter Guide inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Public Funding of Abortions (Such as Govt. Health Benefits and Planned Parenthood)' The Christian Coalition notes, "You can help make sure that voters have the facts BEFORE they cast their votes. We have surveyed candidates in the most competitive congressional races on the issues that are important to conservatives."
