Republican Sen. Richard Burr likes to stay away from the hot button social issues, stressing economic issues when he is campaigning.
So when he traveled to Greenville over the weekend, it was up to Congressman Walter Jones of Farmville, a favorite of social conservatives, to remind voters that Burr opposes abortion and opposes same sex marriage.
Introducing him at a rally at the Pitt County Courthouse on Saturday, Jones said that Burr “believes as you believe and I believe that a marriage is between a man and a woman.”
“He shares my belief that a child is a gift from God and that ought to be part of the debate – protecting God's gift to women,” Jones said.
