God is the author of life. Life begins at conception. I have and will continue to do all in my power to protect it.

I am unwavering in his pro-life stance. As a state Senator, I co-authored the very first version of the heartbeat bill that 14 other states went on to adopt, most notably Texas, which went all the way to the Supreme court. I also spearheaded the life amendment, which was an amendment to the Iowa constitution to defend the dignity of all human life to protect against efforts to expand full-term abortion or to require the public funding of abortion. 

I have a proven track record of fighting for unborn life. I also pledge to put an end to the brutal practice of partial-birth abortion. In the United States Senate, I will remain the reliable voice I have been for the unborn.
