Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate has described himself as "pro‑life" and has donated to and been endorsed by anti‑abortion organizations with policies opposing exceptions beyond saving the mother’s life. Public records and reporting link him to Right to Life groups and donations backing organizations that oppose abortion even in cases of rape or incest.
Climate & Energy
