Sam Clovis on Abortion

 

 


Human life begins at conception

Question topic: Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Clovis: Strongly Agree.

Question topic: Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?

Clovis: I am a Catholic and cannot find my way to exceptions of any kind for abortion. Who protects the unborn if not those who are empowered by the Constitution? It is, after all, the main role of government to protect its citizens.

Pro-life from conception to natural, dignified death

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

A: I am pro-life from conception to natural, dignified death. Abortion should never be used to terminate the life of an unborn child.

Life should be protected from conception

I believe life begins at conception and life should be protected from conception to natural, dignified death. There should be no exceptions for protecting life. However, the judicial system of the nation has protected certain options. In Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court allowed that abortion was about privacy. If that is the case, then private funds should pay for whatever abortions take place. Not a single tax dollar should go to any organization or agency that supports the killing of the unborn.
