On his congressional website, Rep. Luetkemeyer states,"Blaine is also committed to protecting Missouri families, which is why he supports a constitutional amendment protecting traditional marriage and the unborn."

Luetkemeyer said,"I have consistently and very publicly fought for the rights of the unborn for many years and I firmly believe that all human life is significant and deserves to be treated with the highest dignity and respect. I will continue to support legislation that protects the unborn and will vigorously oppose measures that either expand abortion or allow taxpayer dollars to be used for abortions."
