Right to life is a fundamental principle

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Abortion is a woman's right"?

A: I strongly disagree. The right to life is a fundamental principle of all humans, including Americans.

No taxpayer dollars to terminate human life in the womb

Family is not a choice. It is a God given right and duty. We have four grown children and 11 grandchildren. They are precious to us and we cannot fathom why people like Shaheen would condone killing a child in the womb.

Estimates are that 1.5 million children are killed in the womb every year. Taxpayer dollars should not be used to terminate the human life of American citizens. Planned Parenthood kills a child every 94 seconds. This is the same organization that praises and funds Shaheen. Do the calculation. Imagine how 60 million more tax paying citizens could impact and maintain programs like Social Security. How many new businesses and jobs could they create? I hear some say these additional citizens would be a burden on our economy. Only a person (like Shaheen) who expects people to depend on the government for their sustenance would believe this way.
