Danny Tarkanian: Life starts at conception

Danny Tarkanian believes life starts at conception.

The difference between Sen. Heller and me? I mean it.

My Dad, like yours, taught me that a man's word is his bond. And we teach our kids that if you make a promise, keep the promise. Dean Heller didn't do that. I will. Guaranteed. You have it in writing.
