Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I Co-Sponsored HR 426 - The Sanctity of Human Life Act. This bill declares that: (1) the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human and is the person's paramount and most fundamental right; (2) each human life begins with fertilization, cloning, or its functional equivalent, at which time every human has all legal and constitutional attributes and privileges of personhood; and (3) Congress, each state, the District of Columbia, and all U.S. territories have the authority to protect all human lives.

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
I voted for Act 10 and sponsored the Manufacturing and Agriculture Production Tax Credit when I served in the Wisconsin State Legislature. My Congressional voting record continues to speak to my conservative principles. I point to my record in support of Pro-Life legislation. I Co-Sponsored numerous pieces of Pro-Life legislation, such as HR 36, HR 217, HR 426, HR 816 and HR 940. As a former tax preparer, I saw firsthand how government regulation negatively impacted small business owners, farmers and taxpayers. Because of my experience, I will continue to fight to reign in the size and scope of the federal government. You, not the government, know how to best live your life, raise your family, and spend the money you earn.

Tell them you want Glenn.
