Voted for H.R.3, a bill that would ban abortion coverage in state health-insurance exchanges; impose tax penalties on small businesses and many individuals who purchase private health plans that include abortion coverage; and make permanent several restrictions that block many women from accessing abortion care.

"As an elected official, protecting the sanctity of life has been a cornerstone of my policy objectives over the past twenty years. Now that Republicans control the majority in the House of Representatives, it is vital that we pass meaningful legislation to ensure important pro-life protections and to correct the last two years of pro-abortion policy passed by Congressional Democrats."
