Candidate's Comments:
Government should not be inovled in the abortion issue. It should nopt prohibit abortion, nor support it in any way. The decision is totally that of the woman. Those who think abortion is OK should support (financially and otherwise) abortion providers. Those who think abortion is abhorant should support (financially and otherwise) those who provide alternatives to abortion. I support (financially) those who provide alternatives to abortion. I cannot, and as a legislator will not, condemn women to coat hanger, back alley, abortions. There are many cases where individuals have no expectation of recover from lethal disease, are in great pain, and have family members in pain. I fully support allowing such folk to choose an immediate, peaceful relief of their pain, and that of their family.
