| Message | The right to life is sacrosanct. The Republican Party affirms that since the debate as to when life begins is still open, and possibly unanswerable, abortion be restricted to medical emergencies. It is better to play it safe, and we affirm that it is morally correct to give every person, alive or still developing, the inalienable right to their life. |

| Message | If you haven't been born, you aren't a living thing, therefore, it's not murder when you die. The babies might have a horrible life and that doesn't even count as a medical emergency. It's like killing an ant, but even ants have beating hearts |
