ALASKA

Alaska adopted the flag for official state use in 1959. The blue field represents the sky, the sea, and mountain lakes, as well as Alaska's wildflowers. Emblazoned on the flag are eight gold stars: seven from the constellation Ursa Major, or the Big Dipper. The eighth being the North Star, representing the northern most state. Alaska's flag was designed in 1926 by a 13-year-old Native American boy, Bennie Benson, from the village of Chignik. Bennie received a 1,000-dollar scholarship and a watch for his winning entry in the flag design contest.

Gov. Sean Parnell (R)

“Today we gather, people of all faiths, to recognize the sanctity of each human life,” the governor wrote. “We recognize that each human child is a miracle and has a right to live. I thank you for making your voice and your prayer heard today.” From: http://www.christiantelegraph.com/issue8600.html

Vetoes child healthcare legislation that has abortion funds

"I want to be able to provide those services. But if your governor doesn't stand for life and liberty, as he understands it in his conscience, then you don't have a governor. Bill 13 was an expansion of the Denali KidCare program, the state children's health insurance program that covers low-income children and pregnant women. Due to a 1993 court order, Alaska is required to fund abortions determined medically necessary if it is to fund any health services at all."
