Carly Fiorina:
Endorsed as pro-life, fiscal conservative "Mama Grizzly"
In Alaska, the only thing we take more seriously than a grizzly bear is a mama grizzly with cubs to protect. I call the new generation of American women leaders--many of whom I've met on the campaign trail and in the towns and cities of
America--mama grizzlies. These are tough, serious, formidable women like Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, Nikki Haley of South Carolina, Susana Martinez of new Mexico, and Carly Fiorina of California.
These women are at the forefront of a new wave of strong, confident American women who are positively affecting not just the Republican Party, but America itself.
They're building businesses, leading men & women in government--and, while they're at it, raising families. Carly Fiorina is a sister: a pro-life, fiscal conservative knocking down barriers in blue-state California.

Supreme Court oath: impartially apply Constitution
The Supreme Court, along with the rest of the federal judiciary, has tremendous power over our lives today. Their rulings mean the difference between the survival of innocent life and the state-sanctioned killing of innocent life. The reason this is
the case is because so many of the people who appoint and approve our judges and justices erroneously believe the courts' duty isn't to interpret the law but to MAKE the law. In cases where their agenda can't prevail among the people's representatives in
Congress, they have turned to the courts to make policy. That means having judges and justices who are no longer guided by the Constitution and the law, but by their personal opinions.But if you look at the oath of office that every Supreme
Court justice takes, you see that it commits them to a very different standard. They pledge not to pick winners and losers based on their hearts or their "empathy," but to impartially apply the Constitution and the law.

Supported 1990s TV ad: "Life: What a Beautiful Choice"
For those of us lucky enough to be parents, there is no greater proof of the existence of God than to look into the face of your new baby. This is the greatest gift of family: putting the big things, and little things, into their proper perspective.
Family makes us understand that the greatest things in life aren't our doing, that they're not tidy or predictable.A brilliant pro-life educational campaign from the 1990s made this point very well. It was a commercial that showed smiling, laughing
children, with a voice-over that said, "All these children have something in common. All of them were unplanned pregnancies that could have ended in abortion. But their parents toughed it out & discovered that sometimes that best things in life aren't
planned." It ended with the simple message: "Life: What a beautiful choice." There was no call for legal action and no guilt ascribed--just a simple message affirming life and reminding Americans that being open to life and family is beautiful.

New feminism: pro-woman, pro-life sisterhood
Together, the pro-woman, pro-life sisterhood is telling the young women of America that they are capable of handling an unintended pregnancy and still pursue a career and an education. Strangely, many feminists seem to want to tell these young women that
they're NOT capable, that you CAN'T give your child life and still pursue your dreams. The message is: "Women, you are not strong enough or smart enough to do both. You are not capable."The NEW feminism is telling women they are capable and strong. And
if keeping a child isn't possible, adoption is a beautiful choice. It's about empowering women to make REAL CHOICES, not forcing them to accept false ones. It's about compassion and letting these scared young women know that there will be some help there
for them to raise their children in those less-than-ideal circumstances.
I believe this so strongly because I've been there. I never planned on being the mother of a son with special needs. I thought, "God will never give me something I can't handle."
