Issue Position: Promoting a Culture of Life

Issue Position

I believe that every life is created for a purpose and that, as such, Texas should be known not just as a state that protects life, but one that actively promotes a culture of life. With love and care for our fellow Texans, I strongly believe that we must continue to work to explore new ways to meetwomen at the point of their need and to provide better options to expectant mothers other than terminating an innocent life. This includes actively working against organizations that provide misleading and false information to pregnant women and minors, to work aggressively against efforts to sell "abortion" as the quickest and "best" option, to ensure women are not coerced into having abortions and to make adoption in Texas easier and more affordable. Further, as a pro-life Republican, I believe we must strive to protect EVERY life -- including vulnerable children who are victims of abuse and neglect -- by ensuring that no child in Texas slips through the cracks. This includes adequately funding and systemically improving Child Protective Services, and working to advance more meaningful policies to STOP human trafficking.
