Unconscionable to take life of child for crimes of father
As to matters of rape and incest, we empathize with those abused and assert the need to provide immediate protection and care in a safe environment. Instead of the further violence of abortion, the mother and the child should be
provided with compassionate care. We find it unconscionable to take the life of an innocent child for the crimes of his father.
Although a Supreme Court opinion is binding on the parties to the controversy as to the particulars of the case, it is not a political rule for the nation. Roe v. Wade is an illegitimate usurpation of authority, contrary to the
Declaration of Independence and Constitution. It must be resisted by all civil government officials, federal, state, and local, and by all branches of the government - legislative, executive and judicial.

AdWatch: Positions himself as anti-abortion and pro-Trump
Blankenship has used the ads to paint his rivals as insufficiently conservative, blasting [GOP primary opponent Evan] Jenkins over his positions on ObamaCare and climate change and [GOP primary opponent Patrick] Morrisey on abortion.
He's positioned himself as an unshakable ally of President Donald Trump, who received 68 percent of the vote in the state.
