ABC News/IJReview GOP N.H. Debate: on Abortion

Rocky De La Fuente: Human life is sacred; encourage adoption

I just saw a debate about whether the federal government should be giving money to Planned Parenthood. I have eight children that were born. I also have four children that were aborted. So naturally I have a special issue on this particular topic. I'm against the principle of abortion because I think human life is sacred--not for religious reasons, but just humanistic reasons. I would put the emphasis on encouraging adoption. There are so many people who want to adopt children that if we facilitated that, that could be an alternative to abortion. and second, as a prevention. I think most unwanted pregnancies are had by young, relatively uneducated women and fathered by relatively uneducated young men.
