All life has worth; and cover prenatal care

Q: Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation?

A: Pro-life. I believe that all life has worth, every individual has potential, and every child deserves opportunity. My opponent supports abortion on demand. I do not. And I am opposed to federal funding of abortions.

At the same time, I know the importance of comprehensive preventative and prenatal care for women, and my wife Robin is a registered nurse currently working in women's healthcare in Central New York. As our Member of Congress, I will ensure that full coverage of maternity care is included in whatever new health care reform is advanced.
