Human Dignity & the Sanctity of Life

Protecting the Unborn

Nathan Bech is pro-life and would support legislation which protects the rights of the unborn. Nathan believes that we must take action to protect women and their partners from such dire choices, by ensuring economic opportunity, promoting marriage, and educating them about humane alternatives to abortion.

Promoting Adoption

Musician Faith Hill, President Gerald Ford, Athlete Greg Louganis, and Steve Jobs founder of Apple Computers are just a few examples of adopted children who went on to have a dramatic impact on our culture, politics and economy. As a US Representative, Nathan Bech will seek ways to promote adoption as a first option for women struggling with a crisis pregnancy. Adoption is a gift that should be open to diverse families, and good parents should have the option to adopt inside the United States without undue amounts of red tape.

Torture of Prisoners

Nathan Bech believes we must have one standard for the treatment or prisoners of war or enemy combatants; they should be treated as we would want American service members in the same situation treated. Nathan believes that torture of our enemies not only is ineffectual but undermines our nation’s moral authority to compel human rights improvements around the world. Nathan further believes that we should not allow our allies to take actions on our behalf that we would not be willing to take ourselves.
