Rick Sikma on Abortion

Republican Senate Challenger

Inalienable rights exist for unborn, same as for living

Q: Do you support or oppose the policy: "Abortion is a woman's right"?

A: STRONGLY OPPOSE: I unconditionally support the rights of the unborn child from conception through birth and beyond. The same inalienable rights exist for the unborn as well as the living; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, no matter what their physical or mental condition is before, or after birth.

Inalienable rights exist for the unborn, from conception

I unconditionally support the rights of the unborn child from conception through birth and beyond. The same inalienable rights exist for the unborn as well as the living; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, no matter what their physical or mental condition is before, or after birth.

I pledge to do all within my power to support and encourage laws and bills in the US Senate that protect the rights of the unborn.
