Pro Life
A question I’ve been asked a couple times- What is your stance on abortion?
I realize this is a controversial topic however, I’m going to answer this question as honest and transparent as possible.
Just to clarify:
PRO-
adverb
: on the affirmative side : in affirmation
LIFE-
noun
: the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body
As a woman, my reproductive healthcare is between myself and my physician and certainly not the governments business.
As a Republican, who values freedom, I do not personally believe the government should be regulating women’s bodies, again, that is between Dr. and patient. Healthcare decisions should not be made by the government.
In November 2022 an abortion ban was put on the ballot in Kentucky and it was voted down. This means that the people did not want a total ban on abortion in this state. I respect that process and the decision of the people.
If I get the honor of being chosen as the next Representative of the people of district 10, it would be wrong of me to go to Frankfort and use my own personal opinions and that of my Party to vote, but rather, to listen to the collective voices in my district and vote the way they ask me to vote. My goal as a representative is to get to Frankfort to represent the people of district 10 and that is exactly what I plan to do, even if I have to vote against my own personal beliefs, principles and values.
I realize some of you may not like this answer and that’s ok; however, I am me, I am not a politician and my personal beliefs will never match up with every citizen in my district. Do the tax paying citizens in my district still deserve to be heard and still deserve proper representation? Absolutely. The answer is to communicate and find common ground.
I’m happy to answer any questions you have for me regarding this issue or any issue.
Community. Compassion. CANTWELL
