Abortion stops a beating heart and ends an innocent human life. A life that is a gift from God made in His image and one that we ordain our government to protect. Abortion on demand has never rested easy on the collective conscience of the American people, and we are grateful that the conservative Supreme Court reversed the destructive and evil practice of abortion by overturning Roe v. Wade - but, there is still much work to do. Faith & Freedom is working diligently to protect life by working with elected leaders in Washington, DC and in State Capitols throughout the country to enact pro-life laws and executive action that protects women and their unborn children. Further, Faith & Freedom supports carefully looking at foster care systems to create a system that works for West Virginia’s children and supports them “womb to tomb”.
Our Pro-Life Priorities:
Enact legislation that deters “abortion trafficking” of minors across state lines to receive abortion procedures and medications without the knowledge and consent of their parents.
Educate West Virginia’s citizens and leaders on the critical and important role that Pregnancy Resource Centers play in supporting women, men, children, and families as a whole and advocate for their continued funding and support.
Support families and struggling mothers by eliminating burdensome state sales taxes on baby items like diapers, car seats, formula, and bottles.
Work with policy organizations and state leaders on a solution to West Virginia’s childcare crisis that focuses on a private sector solution.
Pass “Jaycie’s Law”, legislation requiring the West Virginia Department of Education to establish a policy to support the educational and parenting goals and improve the educational outcomes of pregnant and parenting students; requiring an allotment of at least 8 weeks for a student's pregnancy and providing for an effective date.
