Today is the 36th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision making abortion legal for any reason, even as a method of birth control.

Since that ruling, over 50 million babies have been aborted in the United States of America.

Have you ever heard the Truth about Roe v. Wade (from "Jane Roe")?

Most people who claim the "pro-choice" moniker have no idea how the modern abortion movement started. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was a virulent racist and radical feminist who believed in eugenics, and promoted abortion as a way to reduce the "unfit" and "bad strains" of our population. Many in the Planned Parenthood organization are more than willing to continue her legacy. Even the medical community still practices a form of eugenics when they recommend abortion for children with Down's Syndrome.

Why does this barbaric and dangerous practice continue, in a supposedly civilized society, when it is so traumatic and there are so many other options? I believe ignorance and fear are the two biggest reasons. But it doesn't have to be that way.

I had a teen pregnancy, too. But I made the decision to keep my child. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I couldn't imagine my life without him. He's 10 years old now, and is such a blessing.

I will continue to stand up for the rights of the unborn, and to educate people about the truth as long as abortion is an accepted and tolerated practice. They have the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness, too. But it means nothing if they don't first get their right to life.

Steve King grew up in a law enforcement family in Storm Lake, Iowa. He attended Denison Community High School, where he met Marilyn Kelly, whom he married in 1972. They have lived in Kiron since 1976 and are members of St. Martin's Church in Odebolt. Steve and Marilyn have three grown sons and seven grandchildren.

King studied math and science at Northwest Missouri State University. He started King Construction in 1975 and built the business up from one bulldozer. He brings valuable knowledge to Congress as an agribusinessman and a small business owner for 28 years. King's oldest son now owns the construction business.

He served in the Iowa State Senate for six years. He was a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Judiciary Committee, Business and Labor Committee, the Commerce Committees, and chair of the State Government Committee. He worked in the State Senate to successfully eliminate the inheritance tax, enforce workplace drug testing, enforce parenting rights, including parental notification of abortions, pass tax cuts for working Iowans, and pass the law that made English the official language in Iowa.

King was elected to Congress in 2002 to represent Iowa's Fifth Congressional District. During the 2012 election cycle, Iowa was redistricted to four districts. King now represents the Fourth Congressional District in the 114th Congress which includes: Ames, Fort Dodge, Mason City, Sioux City and Spencer. He brings personal experience, Constitutional principles, traditional marriage and family values and the perspective of representing one of the top producing agriculture districts in the nation to the people of Iowa's Fourth Congressional District.

King serves on the Agriculture Committee. He has long been dedicated to adding value as close to the corn stalk and bean stem as possible, as many times as possible. King's very first bill in Congress was an expansion of a tax credit to small ethanol and biodiesel producers. His language was included in the Energy Users Act of 2005, which President George W. Bush signed into law. He sits on the Livestock and Foreign Agriculture and Conservation and Forestry Subcommittees.

As 97% of Iowa's businesses are small business, King serves on the House Small Business Committee so he can work to restrict government regulations that impede the growth of business and jobs. He brings with him to the Committee firsthand knowledge of challenges faced by small business owners. He also sits on the following Subcommittees within Small Business: Agriculture, Energy and Trade; Healthcare and Technology; Economic Growth, Tax and Capital Access; Contracting and Workforce.

King is also a member of the House Judiciary Committee, where he sits on the Constitution and Civil Justice Subcommittee and the Immigration and Border Security Subcommittee. He believes the Constitution means what it says and that it should be read with the intent of our Founding Fathers in mind. King is never caught without a copy of the Constitution in his coat pocket. He is a strong advocate of the Rule of Law and enforcing our borders. King is a full-spectrum, Constitutional Conservative.

King, for more than a decade, has chaired the Conservative Opportunity Society, a powerful and legendary House caucus that has become the conscience of Constitutional conservatives in the U.S. Congress.

Scott Kevin Walker (born November 2, 1967) is an American Republican politician who is the 45th Governor of Wisconsin. He is a two-term Governor, elected in 2010 and 2014, who also defeated an effort to recall him in 2012.

Walker began his political career in the state assembly, serving from 1993–2002. After the 2002 resignation of Tom Ament as Executive of Milwaukee County, Walker won the special election to fill the seat, which he held from 2002 to 2010.

Walker was elected governor of Wisconsin in 2010, defeating the Democratic nominee, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. After being sworn into office in 2011, Walker introduced a budget repair plan which limited many collective bargaining powers for most public employees. The legislation led to significant protests at the Wisconsin State Capitol and an effort to recall Walker. In June 2012, Walker faced Barrett in Wisconsin's only gubernatorial recall election. After emerging as the winner, Walker became the only governor in the U.S. to date to win a gubernatorial recall election.

Walker is seen by many as a potential candidate for the GOP's nomination in the 2016 presidential election, having formed a 527 organization in January of 2015. On June 18, 2015 Walker took a further step towards a presidential campaign when he established a "testing-the-waters" federal campaign committee.

Republican leaders, candidates and campaign strategists are assembling in the City of Brotherly Love to give conservatives from its collar counties a glimpse of the party's rising stars and make the case for winning Pennsylvania in the 2016 presidential election.

A GOP win in the state would be the first in 28 years.

"We're making a commitment to Pennsylvania and other crucial swing states across the country," said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. "By investing in Pennsylvania early and engaging in every community across the state, we can make the inroads needed to win in 2016.

"Voters don't trust Hillary Clinton, and we are going to fight to elect a Republican president."

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has won in a reliably blue state three times in four years -- twice in general elections and once on a recall vote -- leads in at least one presidential poll even though he won't announce his anticipated run until after his state budget is signed this summer.

"Americans are tired of the fighting in Washington because neither side can get anything done. They want someone who can fight and win for hard-working taxpayers like them. That's what we've done in a blue state like Wisconsin. We won the center, not by moving to the center but by leading," said Walker, 47, who grew up in Iowa and held a 7-point lead there over his nearest rival, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, in a late May poll by The Des Moines Register.

Iowa's freshman U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, a conference speaker, hosted Walker and other White House hopefuls for a barbecue and motorcycle-themed fundraiser a week ago. Ernst in November won a seat tagged to go Democrat.

"Republican candidates need to speak to the hearts and minds of the people and understand the challenges that they face every day, and be able to come up with solutions that work for them," said Ernst, 44, a mother and Army combat veteran of Kuwait and Iraq. "People will see that and like that, and that is who they will ultimately send to Washington.

"... We need someone to bring competency and leadership," she said. "We need someone who can show that America can be a leader."

The legislation led to significant protests at the Wisconsin State Capitol and an effort to recall Walker. In June 2012, Walker faced Barrett in Wisconsin's only gubernatorial recall election. After emerging as the winner, Walker became the only governor in the U.S. to date to win a gubernatorial recall election.

Walker is seen by many as a potential candidate for the GOP's nomination in the 2016 presidential election, having formed a 527 organization in January of 2015. On June 18, 2015 Walker took a further step towards a presidential campaign when he established a "testing-the-waters" federal campaign committee.

Republican leaders, candidates and campaign strategists are assembling in the City of Brotherly Love to give conservatives from its collar counties a glimpse of the party's rising stars and make the case for winning Pennsylvania in the 2016 presidential election.

A GOP win in the state would be the first in 28 years.

"We're making a commitment to Pennsylvania and other crucial swing states across the country," said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. "By investing in Pennsylvania early and engaging in every community across the state, we can make the inroads needed to win in 2016.

"Voters don't trust Hillary Clinton, and we are going to fight to elect a Republican president."

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has won in a reliably blue state three times in four years -- twice in general elections and once on a recall vote -- leads in at least one presidential poll even though he won't announce his anticipated run until after his state budget is signed this summer.

"Americans are tired of the fighting in Washington because neither side can get anything done. They want someone who can fight and win for hard-working taxpayers like them. That's what we've done in a blue state like Wisconsin. We won the center, not by moving to the center but by leading," said Walker, 47, who grew up in Iowa and held a 7-point lead there over his nearest rival, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, in a late May poll by The Des Moines Register.

Iowa's freshman U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, a conference speaker, hosted Walker and other White House hopefuls for a barbecue and motorcycle-themed fundraiser a week ago. Ernst in November won a seat tagged to go Democrat.

"Republican candidates need to speak to the hearts and minds of the people and understand the challenges that they face every day, and be able to come up with solutions that work for them," said Ernst, 44, a mother and Army combat veteran of Kuwait and Iraq. "People will see that and like that, and that is who they will ultimately send to Washington.

"... We need someone to bring competency and leadership," she said. "We need someone who can show that America can be a leader."

We won the center, not by moving to the center but by leading," said Walker, 47, who grew up in Iowa and held a 7-point lead there over his nearest rival, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, in a late May poll by The Des Moines Register.

Iowa's freshman U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, a conference speaker, hosted Walker and other White House hopefuls for a barbecue and motorcycle-themed fundraiser a week ago. Ernst in November won a seat tagged to go Democrat.

"Republican candidates need to speak to the hearts and minds of the people and understand the challenges that they face every day, and be able to come up with solutions that work for them," said Ernst, 44, a mother and Army combat veteran of Kuwait and Iraq. "People will see that and like that, and that is who they will ultimately send to Washington.

"... We need someone to bring competency and leadership," she said. "We need someone who can show that America can be a leader."

Scott Kevin Walker (born November 2, 1967) is an American Republican politician who is the 45th Governor of Wisconsin. He is a two-term Governor, elected in 2010 and 2014, who also defeated an effort to recall him in 2012.

Walker began his political career in the state assembly, serving from 1993–2002. After the 2002 resignation of Tom Ament as Executive of Milwaukee County, Walker won the special election to fill the seat, which he held from 2002 to 2010.

Walker was elected governor of Wisconsin in 2010, defeating the Democratic nominee, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. After being sworn into office in 2011, Walker introduced a budget repair plan which limited many collective bargaining powers for most public employees. The legislation led to significant protests at the Wisconsin State Capitol and an effort to recall Walker. In June 2012, Walker faced Barrett in Wisconsin's only gubernatorial recall election. After emerging as the winner, Walker became the only governor in the U.S. to date to win a gubernatorial recall election.

Walker is seen by many as a potential candidate for the GOP's nomination in the 2016 presidential election, having formed a 527 organization in January of 2015. On June 18, 2015 Walker took a further step towards a presidential campaign when he established a "testing-the-waters" federal campaign committee.

Republican leaders, candidates and campaign strategists are assembling in the City of Brotherly Love to give conservatives from its collar counties a glimpse of the party's rising stars and make the case for winning Pennsylvania in the 2016 presidential election.

A GOP win in the state would be the first in 28 years.

"We're making a commitment to Pennsylvania and other crucial swing states across the country," said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. "By investing in Pennsylvania early and engaging in every community across the state, we can make the inroads needed to win in 2016.

"Voters don't trust Hillary Clinton, and we are going to fight to elect a Republican president."

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has won in a reliably blue state three times in four years -- twice in general elections and once on a recall vote -- leads in at least one presidential poll even though he won't announce his anticipated run until after his state budget is signed this summer.

The legislation led to significant protests at the Wisconsin State Capitol and an effort to recall Walker. In June 2012, Walker faced Barrett in Wisconsin's only gubernatorial recall election. After emerging as the winner, Walker became the only governor in the U.S. to date to win a gubernatorial recall election.

Walker is seen by many as a potential candidate for the GOP's nomination in the 2016 presidential election, having formed a 527 organization in January of 2015. On June 18, 2015 Walker took a further step towards a presidential campaign when he established a "testing-the-waters" federal campaign committee.

Republican leaders, candidates and campaign strategists are assembling in the City of Brotherly Love to give conservatives from its collar counties a glimpse of the party's rising stars and make the case for winning Pennsylvania in the 2016 presidential election.

A GOP win in the state would be the first in 28 years.

"We're making a commitment to Pennsylvania and other crucial swing states across the country," said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. "By investing in Pennsylvania early and engaging in every community across the state, we can make the inroads needed to win in 2016.

"Voters don't trust Hillary Clinton, and we are going to fight to elect a Republican president."

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has won in a reliably blue state three times in four years -- twice in general elections and once on a recall vote -- leads in at least one presidential poll even though he won't announce his anticipated run until after his state budget is signed this summer.

"Americans are tired of the fighting in Washington because neither side can get anything done. They want someone who can fight and win for hard-working taxpayers like them. That's what we've done in a blue state like Wisconsin. We won the center, not by moving to the center but by leading," said Walker, 47, who grew up in Iowa and held a 7-point lead there over his nearest rival, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, in a late May poll by The Des Moines Register.

Iowa's freshman U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, a conference speaker, hosted Walker and other White House hopefuls for a barbecue and motorcycle-themed fundraiser a week ago. Ernst in November won a seat tagged to go Democrat.

"Republican candidates need to speak to the hearts and minds of the people and understand the challenges that they face every day, and be able to come up with solutions that work for them," said Ernst, 44, a mother and Army combat veteran of Kuwait and Iraq. "People will see that and like that, and that is who they will ultimately send to Washington.

"... We need someone to bring competency and leadership," she said. "We need someone who can show that America can be a leader."

We won the center, not by moving to the center but by leading," said Walker, 47, who grew up in Iowa and held a 7-point lead there over his nearest rival, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, in a late May poll by The Des Moines Register.

Iowa's freshman U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, a conference speaker, hosted Walker and other White House hopefuls for a barbecue and motorcycle-themed fundraiser a week ago. Ernst in November won a seat tagged to go Democrat.

"Republican candidates need to speak to the hearts and minds of the people and understand the challenges that they face every day, and be able to come up with solutions that work for them," said Ernst, 44, a mother and Army combat veteran of Kuwait and Iraq. "People will see that and like that, and that is who they will ultimately send to Washington.

"... We need someone to bring competency and leadership," she said. "We need someone who can show that America can be a leader."

Scott Kevin Walker (born November 2, 1967) is an American Republican politician who is the 45th Governor of Wisconsin. He is a two-term Governor, elected in 2010 and 2014, who also defeated an effort to recall him in 2012.

Walker began his political career in the state assembly, serving from 1993–2002. After the 2002 resignation of Tom Ament as Executive of Milwaukee County, Walker won the special election to fill the seat, which he held from 2002 to 2010.

Walker was elected governor of Wisconsin in 2010, defeating the Democratic nominee, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. After being sworn into office in 2011, Walker introduced a budget repair plan which limited many collective bargaining powers for most public employees. The legislation led to significant protests at the Wisconsin State Capitol and an effort to recall Walker. In June 2012, Walker faced Barrett in Wisconsin's only gubernatorial recall election. After emerging as the winner, Walker became the only governor in the U.S. to date to win a gubernatorial recall election.

Walker is seen by many as a potential candidate for the GOP's nomination in the 2016 presidential election, having formed a 527 organization in January of 2015. On June 18, 2015 Walker took a further step towards a presidential campaign when he established a "testing-the-waters" federal campaign committee.

Republican leaders, candidates and campaign strategists are assembling in the City of Brotherly Love to give conservatives from its collar counties a glimpse of the party's rising stars and make the case for winning Pennsylvania in the 2016 presidential election.

A GOP win in the state would be the first in 28 years.

"We're making a commitment to Pennsylvania and other crucial swing states across the country," said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. "By investing in Pennsylvania early and engaging in every community across the state, we can make the inroads needed to win in 2016.

"Voters don't trust Hillary Clinton, and we are going to fight to elect a Republican president."

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has won in a reliably blue state three times in four years -- twice in general elections and once on a recall vote -- leads in at least one presidential poll even though he won't announce his anticipated run until after his state budget is signed this summer.
