Life
Since our founding, The Family Foundation has sought to enhance the value of human life through increased restrictions on elective abortion and greater information and support for mothers who find themselves wrestling with an unexpected pregnancy. While saving human life has been the chief objective, measures that not only save unborn life but also provide these children greater legal status as individuals should be given priority. Additionally, protecting the rights of faith-based organizations that provide assistance to women facing crisis pregnancies who do not have the resources to support them has been another priority of ours.
The Family Foundation works from the belief that human life from fertilization to natural death is sacred, and the right to life is foundational to all other rights.
WHAT ARE WE DOING?
Combatting the effort to enshrine unlimited abortion into the Virginia state constitution| If passed, the unlimited abortion amendment would legalize abortion up to birth, erase parental consent and stop reasonable safety standards.
Protecting End of Life Decisions | Public policy should protect human life at its most vulnerable point, including those who are nearing the end of life.
Supporting Life-Saving Ministries | Organizations that support women facing an unplanned pregnancy should be encouraged and rewarded.
Increasing Access to and Encouraging Adoption | Adoption is an incredibly wonderful, yet difficult journey. Law should not impede adoption but should encourage, promote and strengthen adoption programs.
