OUR ISSUES
What we stand forThese are not talking points — they are convictions. Every position YPN holds flows from our Christian faith and our love for this country.
Life
ABOLITION OF ABORTION
Abortion ends a developing human life. Every year, countless unborn children lose their lives to abortion, and behind every number is an individual human being. No matter how small, young, dependent, or vulnerable someone may be, their life has value.
Difficult circumstances—including poverty, disability, an unexpected pregnancy, or pregnancy resulting from rape—can involve profound suffering and deserve compassion and meaningful support. We believe the answer is to stand beside women and families while also protecting unborn human life. Instead of treating abortion as the only solution, we want to build a culture where women receive the resources, encouragement, and support they need to choose life.
A person is a person, no matter how small.
Country
PATRIOTISM
We believe love of country is not embarrassing and it is not optional. We honor the flag, the Constitution, and the men and women who have sacrificed to defend American liberty. We teach young Americans their history honestly — including the founding principles of faith, freedom, and self-government — and we call them to carry that inheritance forward with pride.
Rule of Law
LEGAL IMMIGRATION
We support legal immigration and the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws. A nation that cannot enforce its own laws is not a nation for long. We welcome those who come to America the right way — through the front door, by the rules — and we oppose lawlessness at the border.
Priority
AMERICAN CITIZENS FIRST
We believe the United States government exists to serve its own citizens first. When policy is made, the interests of American citizens — their safety, their jobs, their communities, and their children's future — must come before any competing interest. That is not extreme. It is what every sovereign nation owes its people.
