Nevada State Legislative Election 2018 Political Courage Test
| Pro-life | a) Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| Yes | b) Should abortion be legal when the pregnancy resulted from incest or rape? | ||
| Yes | c) Do you support the prohibition of public funds for organizations that perform abortions? | ||
| A woman has a right to choose what happens to her own body. I do not believe that the government should put our tax dollars toward termination of pregnancies unless it is from incest or a violent crimes. It is my belief that we should put tax dollars toward educating both males and females in preventing communicable diseases from being spread from one individual to another and offering health services to those that may not be able to afford those services that Planned Parenthood can provide with the exclusion of termination of a pregnancy. | |||
