Questionnaire-Right to Life
Right To Life
Candidate Survey 2008
- Do you favor legislation that would prohibit
abortions, except to prevent the death of mother?
( )Yes
(X)No
Reason:
I believe women should have the right to choose if they will bring a pregnancy
to term especially if it may not be a life or death case but it can be a risk
for other major medical conditions that will affect her long term health. I
also believe there should be a choice in rape and incest cases. The woman had
no choice in most of those cases and should not be reminded further about what
someone did by having to go to term carrying a child she did not want in the
first place. Plus there is more of chance she will suffer long term medical
conditions the longer she has the child in her from whatever disease the
attacker might have had at the time of the attack.
- Do you favor legislation that prohibits tax-payer
funded abortions, except to prevent the death of the mother?
( )Yes
(X)No
Reason:
Same as number 1.
- Do You favor legislation prohibiting physician-assisted
suicide?
( )Yes
(X)No
Reason:
I feel there comes a point where no matter what the medical community can do
for a person, it is not right to keep someone alive that can not function or
have any participation in life. Just to keep someone alive because we can is
not right. It costs their family in both emotional pain by watching that person
lie in a bed and not be able to do anything and it adds to the cost of the
medical bills they will have to pay after. The only ones that will benefit from
this would be the medical community.
- Do you favor legislation prohibiting the use of
tax dollars for human embryonic stem cell research?
( )Yes
(X)No
Reason:
It has now been found that we do not need to use embryos to make the stem cells
from.
- Do you favor a ban on all types of human cloning,
whether for implantation (into the womb) or “therapeutic” (cloned for stem
cells) reasons?
( )Yes
(X)No
Reason:
With the shortage of compatible organ donors, I think we should do everything
we can to find a way to clone organs to help people be able to remain healthy
functional members of our society.
- Are you an incumbent?
( )Yes
(X)No
