7: Human Life
Defending the Dignity of Every Human Life. Other Information:
Santorum Record on Defending the Dignity of Every Human Life -- Rick Santorum has been a national leader on pro-life issues
with a clear record of results. He has a broad and impressive record when it came to defending the dignity of every human
life, especially the most vulnerable among us. In the U.S. Senate, he authored two of the priority pro-life efforts that were
signed into law by President George W. Bush – the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act and the Born Alive Infants Protection Act.
He cosponsored and strongly supported numerous other bills that defended unborn victims of violence, ensured state laws on
parental consent are observed by neighboring states, and championed legislation to protect the conscious rights of individuals
and health care providers so they need not choose between their work and their moral principles. He steadfastly opposed the
federal funding of abortion and supported President Reagan’s Mexico City Policy (abandoned by President Clinton and President
Obama) that kept U.S. taxpayer dollars from going to organizations that perform or promote abortion overseas.
