  • Building a Culture of Life: President Bush is the most pro-life president in history. He has signed into law the Born Alive Infants Act, Partial Birth Abortion Ban and Laci & Connor Peterson’s Law.

  • President Bush believes that marriage is the union between one man and one woman. He supports a Federal Marriage Amendment.

  • President Bush has stood up for America’s families by fighting for the child tax credit.

Democrat Nominee, John F. Kerry: Wrong for Conservatives
  • The President’s view on sanctity of life is in stark contrast to Senator John Kerry’s. John Kerry voted at least six times against banning partial birth abortion, and he voted at least 25 times in favor of using taxpayer dollars to pay for abortions in the United States. Senator Kerry opposes requiring parental consent or notification for a minor daughter’s abortion.

  • In 1996, Kerry was one of just 14 Senators to vote against the Defense of Marriage Act. 85 Senators voted in favor of the Act and it was signed into law by President Bill Clinton. In 2002, Kerry signed a letter “urging” the Massachusetts legislature to reject a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

  • John Kerry has been an obstruction in the Senate blocking these qualified judges. Senator Kerry has stated that he will only nominate judges who strongly support the Roe v. Wade decision.

  • John Kerry voted to use taxpayer funds for needle exchange programs for drug users and he voted against banning federal funding of needle exchange programs.
