Candidate's Comments:
I believe life is sacred. I would love for there to be no abortions ever, but I also know life is complicated and legislating something like that has too many gray areas. I think it’s best to let individuals choose based on their health and life circumstances, but if there are times to legitimately protect babies, I’m all on board. Similarly, I would hope most people wouldn’t choose suicide, even in times of terminal illness, but I can’t foresee all the suffering and expense and dread to legislate against that option.

Candidate's Comments:
I think patients have a right to care, but if that care can be delivered by willing healthcare workers, I don’t think they should be fired, but if their refusal results in harm or death to a patient, they should be required to help the patient despite their preferences. I think intersex conditions are too common and poorly understood to legislate about bathroom usage.
