This legislator is dangerous. Their position on abortion is completely out of touch: advocating for some of the most extreme abortion bans being considered right now.
Call your legislator and make it clear that they are going too far. Try to urge them to walk away from their most extreme positions.

Kidwell said his Christian faith is a large reason why rape an incest are not exceptions in the Human Life Protection Act of 2023. To him, life begins the moment a child is conceived, and that child should not suffer the consequences of its parents’ actions. “When we look at the Bible, if you’re Christian, you look at the Bible, ‘I knew you when I formed you in your mother’s womb.’ So that tells me that, that’s life. So when we talk about life, we don’t kill a child because of what the father or the mother did."
