Murray Sabrin in 2014 NJ Senate debate

On Abortion: Human life begins at conception

Question topic: Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Sabrin: Strongly Agree

Question topic: Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?

Sabrin: We should all work to create a cultural shift in this country that this dreadful procedure would only be acceptable to be used in the extraordinary circumstance to protect the life of the mother. As a US Senator I would sponsor and vote for legislation to protect and promote life and would oppose anti-life justices to the US Supreme Court.

On Budget & Economy: Federal Reserve is one big scam

Sabrin said his main priority is restoring financial sustainability, and he raised particular concern with the Federal Reserve System, calling it "one big scam." He also presented a plan to restore sustainability.

"That means having market-based interest rates, reducing spending to what the people will pay for in taxes so they don't have deficits, and freeing up the economy from the strangulation of regulations, which are now 80,000 pages in the Federal Register," he said. "For the average person who wants to start a business, they look at all the regulations that they have to go through and they say, 'I can't do this.'"
