All children should be welcomed into the world and protected by the law. As President, I would immediately repeal President Clinton's five executive orders that promote abortion. I support a human life bill that defines unborn children as persons under the 14th Amendment. I will vigorously defend the pro-life plank in the Republican platform.

Human life has dignity at every age; the taking of innocent human life is always wrong. I believe our nation at every level of government must reject any scheme to permit or promote assisted suicide and euthanasia. We must encourage new efforts to assist patients approaching the end of life to cope with their pain through medical, psychological, and social means.

I favor parental choice in education. I support Educational Savings Accounts. I oppose national government testing and other centrally-driven curriculum revisions. Parents should make educational decisions, not bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. I support home schooling and applaud its increasingly recognized academic excellence. The right of parents to pursue this choice must be recognized and vigilantly protected.

I will appoint men and women to the Federal judiciary who share my view of unborn children as constitutionally protected and who will unhesitatingly vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. If nominated by my party, I will select my running mate from among a list of men and women fully committed to protection of the unborn.

I'm against big bureaucracy in Washington making health care decisions. I just have an aversion to bureaucrats. But it's not just government bureaucrats. I don't like HMO bureaucrats and insurance company bureaucrats either.

If voters want to make a serious decision about who should sit in the Oval Office, this is the only issue that involves life and death. We can argue about budget levels, about defense build-ups, or about campaign finance reform. [but] this one involves who we are. Are we a shining city on a hill? Is there enough room for our unborn children? I would urge every voter to make a decision exactly on this type of issue.

Only one dollar out of four gets to the classroom, to the pupils and to the teachers. I support vouchers, credits for all forms of education, including home schoolers. We can get the bureaucracy out of the way and begin to have some real good things happen in the classroom again.

People can get out of the homosexual lifestyle; those people exist. I spoke at their convention just a few weeks ago. There were hundreds of them, now happily married, now with families of their own. I will encourage anybody I can to get out of a destructive lifestyle. And, I don't believe a healthy society can endorse it, subsidize it, or encourage it.

The current administration has promoted numerous measures that intrude upon the privacy of ordinary Americans. Few if any Americans want their health records on the Internet or their bank records reviewed by bureaucrats or sold to businesses. I oppose government intrusions that assault the Constitution and violate individual rights.

When the penalty for a policeman's mistake is to put a criminal back out on the street, then we are hurting America; we are hurting our law-abiding citizens.

Biography

Gary Bauer is an American civil servant and conservative politician notable for his ties to several fundamentalist and evangelical Christian groups and campaigns. In 1973, Bauer received a law degree from Georgetown Law School. He served as Ronald Reagan's Under Secretary of Education and Domestic Policy Advisor from 1985 to 1989. In 2000, Bauer ran for the Republican Party nomination for President of the United States.

The son of a janitor, Bauer now heads the Campaign for Working Families.

On the Issues

On social issues, Bauer is staunchly pro-life, supports a Constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, and prefers abstinence programs to current sex education programs.
On foreign policy issues, Bauer supports strong ties with Israel, would not trade with China until the country improves its human rights record, and supports military action undertaken to ensure American security.
On economic issues, Bauer supports income tax cuts and decreased regulation of small businesses, though considering his statements to the effect that Corporations should serve the U.S. as well as their shareholders and anti-WTO statements, one might classify Bauer as a conservative economic nationalist, as opposed to a laissez-faire supporter, in the mold of the Wall Street Journal.
