Barr is a Christian with strong support among evangelical voters. He strongly opposes abortion and campaigned his Presidential run largely in opposition to [[Roe v. Wade]], a controversial [[Supreme Court]] decision that made [[abortions]] legal in the United States. While a congressman, his most notable achievement was the [[Defense of Marriage Act]] (DOMA) which stated that only a man and a woman could be legally married. He wrote the bill which was signed into law by [[President Bill Clinton]] in 1996. During the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, Bob Barr became nationally-recognized as a major proponent of impeachment.
