2019-20 GA special Senate race: on Abortion
Raphael Warnock:
Pro-choice: focused on infant and maternal mortality
Warnock: I have a profound reverence for life and an abiding respect for choice. But those who are concerned about life, and I certainly am, ought to be focused on the incredibly high rates of infant mortality and maternal mortality in our
country when compared to other developed nations, that's something that government can work on and I've been working on it in my entire career.

Allen Buckley:
No regulations or funding regarding abortion
Abortion needs to remain a private matter without government funding. Personally, I do not like abortion. However, the question is: What is the best government policy? Given the facts that it is very hard to stop an abortion
(i.e., policing-wise) and a person who is willing to have an abortion to prevent herself from being a mother would be the parent of the unwanted child, I believe the best government policy is to stay out."

Kelly Loeffler:
Fierce opponent of abortion
In her introductory news conference, Loeffler pledged allegiance to Trump and decried Democrats' efforts to impeach the president as a "circus." She said she would defend the Second Amendment, support Trump's border wall and conservative judges and
will be a fierce opponent of abortion. "Contrary to what you might see in the media, not every strong American woman is a liberal," she said. "Many of us are conservative and proud of it."

Kelly Loeffler:
Would support legislation to limit abortions
Anti-abortion groups have attacked Kemp's choice, painting Loeffler as a pro-abortion rights individual over her donations to an area hospital--which has not
performed elective abortions and hasn't for at least a decade. During her announcement, Loeffler said she would support legislation to limit abortions.

Derrick Grayson:
Life begins at conception
I believe in the sanctity of ALL Human Life. For me, and science, life begins at conception. Albeit only a clump of cells, engaged in the process of division, it has begun a path of growth with the end result being that of the birth of a Human Baby.
That is where life starts and it ends in the physical realm at death. It's a damned shame that we've reached a point to where in order to dehumanize the process of Life, many refer to that life in it's initial stages as a zygote or a clump of cells.

Derrick Grayson:
Will fight any taxpayer funding, let charity pay for it
I know many are concerned about Rape, Incest and even those who may have some cognitive limitations. It doesn't justify the taking of another innocent life. In the event she is unable or unwilling to raise that child, Adoption is the best
possible outcome for every life involved. I vow to fight to prevent ANY taxpayer funding of Abortion at the Federal Level. States can decide for themselves. If Abortion remains legal, let charity pay for it, not taxpayers.

Co-sponsored Right to Life Act, protecting zygotes
In 2005 and 2007, he co-sponsored two personhood bills known as Right to Life Acts, which would have granted zygotes full legal protection under the Constitution from the moment of fertilization, effectively
banning both emergency contraception and abortion. The bills were introduced but never voted on.

Tom Price:
For Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act
He voted for the so-called Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act in both 2013 and 2015, which would have resulted in a nationwide 20-week abortion ban--no matter that such legislation is unconstitutional since 20 weeks is before fetal viability.
He also supported an amendment preventing medical-training grants from being used to train graduate students how to perform abortions.

Tom Price:
Opposed to free birth control on religious grounds
He's opposed to free birth control which studies show reduce the abortion rate. He told ThinkProgress in 2012 that there are no women who struggle to afford birth control and that the ACA's contraceptive mandate is wrong. "Bring me
one woman who has been left behind. Bring me one. There's not one," he said. "The fact of the matter is, this is a trampling of religious freedom and religious liberty in this country."
