John Brunner on Abortion

Life is providentially determined, and to be cherished

I am 100% pro-life and believe that life is providentially determined; to be cherished, valued, respected, and defended. Nothing is more precious than human life. Our founders declared that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights among which are, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". And likewise, I am committed to those very same principles. Source: 2012 Senate campaign website, johnbrunner.com, "Issues" , Jun 4, 2012

Pledges support to overthrow of Roe v. Wade

Asked whether the candidates supported a constitutional amendment saying life begins at conception, Akin staked out the strongest stance. "Yes, I would support a constitutional amendment," he said.

Brunner and Steelman both said they would want to look at the wording of a proposed amendment before endorsing it while still trying to portray a strong anti-abortion stance, with Steelman saying she does believe life begins at conception and Brunner pledging support to the overthrow of Roe v. Wade.
