Issue Position: Establishing Personage

Establishing Personage as a matter of law is long overdue. The Roe -v- Wade USSC decision did not address the issue of personage. Arizona should become a leader in our nation for child friendly legislation. My objective is to eliminate the genocidal scourge of abortion, the cost of which is incomprehensible. Contrary to urban legend abortion is not inexpensive, it is not infrequent and it is not without victims. In a 2011 study, Britain's

Royal College of Psychiatrists published, "Women who have abortions are 81% more likely to experience subsequent mental health problems." The study went on to say, "The greatest increases were seen in relation to suicidal behaviors and substance abuse."

The abortion industry -and the Federal Department of Health & Human Services- does not provide this information to help mother's make well informed choices about the actions they are taking. Information such as the long term emotional or psychological affect on mental health of the women who have an abortion performed. As a nation we did not get where we are on this issue overnight. The march of the eugenics movement started before Margaret Sanger and create the environment with incremental steps. We must reverse the trend with a similar strategy. The battle will be long and exhausting, but as we answer to a higher Authority the time has come to be bold and stand for child protection at every stage of childhood.

I support The Center for Arizona Policy (CAP) because they work outside of government to promote and defend the foundational values of life, marriage and family, and religious liberty.

The fact is, what happens at the state Capitol impacts real lives. CAP works with state legislators and other elected officials at all levels of government to ensure that public policy promotes foundational principles.

Their mission and mine is to create an Arizona where:

-The sanctity of human life is protected from its very beginning to its natural end.

-Marriages and families are strengthened and supported by public policy, not attacked or weakened.

-Religious liberty is affirmed and protected, free from government interference.
