North Carolina Congressman Ted Budd, a Republican Senate candidate, has signed on as a co-sponsor to a U.S. House bill that would outlaw abortions nationwide past 15 weeks of pregnancy. Budd has been a staunch opponent of abortion throughout his political career. His campaign website states: “I believe that life begins at conception and that our country should not stand for the injustice of ending the lives of millions of unborn children every year through abortion.”
