Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. (pronounced: “Boo-shon”) represents the Eighth District of Indiana, which encompasses all or part of 19 counties in Southwest and West Central Indiana.
Since coming to Congress, Larry has been a champion for advancing patient-centered health care reforms that will give patients and their doctors the freedom to make their own health care decisions as opposed to Washington bureaucrats. He has also been a leader in the fight to end the opioid epidemic, having been just one of eight lawmakers from around the nation recognized by the Coalition to Stop Opioid Overdose in 2016 for his work on the issue. Beyond health care, Larry has also been a recognized leader on transportation issues when he previously served on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
The unborn child has a fundamental right to life that must be recognized. While I am strongly pro-life, I do believe exceptions should be made in extreme cases of rape and incest and to save the life of the mother in a truly life-threatening pregnancy or delivery. While in Congress, I have worked to deny taxpayer funds from contributing to domestic or international organizations that support abortion. Additionally, I have supported legislation that opposes using federal funds for abortions.
