Tim Michels on Abortion

2004 former Republican Senate Challenger

100% Pro-life

I've learned that my faith and my family are the only things that really matter. I want to take my devotion to protecting life and standing up for families to Washington. As a candidate for State Senate in 1998 and as a candidate now, I've received a 100% rating from Wisconsin Right to Life. I have also received a 100% rating from Pro-Life Wisconsin in my U.S. Senate race. I AM 100% PRO-LIFE AND I WILL WORK TO DEFEND THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO CANNOT DEFEND THEMSELVES.
