WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Donald Trump announced this week that he nominated Mike Pompeo, former Kansas Congressman and Director of the CIA, to become the next Secretary of State. Pompeo is pro-life and a strong pro-family advocate.
When he served in Congress, Pompeo co-sponsored the Sanctity of Human Life Act, which says "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..." He co-sponsored the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act that called for the prohibition of federal funding to any group that performs abortions. Pompeo also co-sponsored a bill that would have included the unborn child in 14th amendment protections. He voted to prohibit abortion information at school health centers, to prohibit federal funding for Planned Parenthood, and to defund the UN Population Fund.
