Billy Long: I wlll continue to fight for the unborn child

In his latest newsletter, Seventh District Congressman Billy Long explains his Adoption Promotion Act.

Each year, many innocent children are not given the gift of life.  In some of these cases, the mother feels that she has no other choice, because she cannot provide for the child.  That is why I have introduced the Adoption Promotion Act.
The Adoption Promotion Act requires that any taxpayer funded family planning services must also provide adoption counseling.  This will provide many women an option that they may not have considered before.
I am pro-life and believe life begins at the moment of conception.  I will still continue fighting for the rights of the unborn child.  This bill is a definite step in the right direction.  Adoption options will be much more accessible to expecting mothers who cannot provide for their child.  Many children will get a chance at life, love, and the opportunity for a promising future with a loving family.
