2020 House elections: on Abortion
Blake Moore:
Strong pro-lifer supporting abstinence and adoption
We need to build national policies that reflect the Utah way of life. Supporting families isn't just about being pro-life, it's about being pro-adoption. My 18-year old nephew's fastball has almost reached 90 mph, and the first reason he can vie for a
college scholarship this spring, is because his birth mother chose life. We need to continue to promote abstinence, provide education to help people avoid unplanned pregnancies, and identify sensible options so life is everyone's choice.

Bob Good:
Abortion is not healthcare; the unborn must be protected
Abortion is not healthcare. Abortion is not a human right. When it is treated as such, we deny that innocent baby their God-given rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I believe all human life, born and unborn, should be protected and
cherished. As a born-again Christian, I believe God calls us to defend the defenseless and be a voice for the voiceless. When deciding how to vote, I will always err on the side of unborn human life, each and every time.

Melanie Stansbury:
No government interference in women's health care decisions
Q: Do you support or oppose repealing a long-dormant 1969 state law that outlaws abortion, except in limited circumstances?A: I believe family decisions of this nature are deeply personal and should remain between a woman,
her family, and her faith and that the government should not interfere in personal health care decisions of a woman and her family.

Planned Parenthood consistently, year after year; sponsored pro-life legislation with H3779, the South Carolina Unborn Child Protection from Dismemberment Abortion Act, and voted to pass the Fetal Heartbeat Bill in 2019.

Steve Scalise:
Don't subsidize research on tissue from aborted fetuses
The Trump administration announced that the federal government would sharply curtail federal spending on medical research that uses tissue from aborted fetuses.Shortly after he took office, President Bill Clinton lifted a five-year ban on fetal
tissue research imposed by Presidents Reagan and Bush. The fight flared again in 2015, after anti-abortion activists released doctored videos they secretly took, purporting to show Planned Parenthood officials discussing plans to illegally sell
aborted fetal tissue for research. House Republicans began an investigation of the fetal-tissue market; a number of states also investigated but found no wrongdoing by Planned Parenthood.
Representative
Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the No. 2 House Republican, declared, "The government has no business subsidizing researchers that traffic the body parts of aborted babies."

Co-sponsoring HER Act, to repeal global Gag Rule
People don't stop needing sexual and reproductive health care during a pandemic -- these services are as necessary as ever. We all need to stand up to President Donald Trump as he continues to prioritize right wing, anti-choice ideology ahead of
public health. Thankfully, Lee is helping lead the charge by co-sponsoring the Global Health, Empowerment and Rights (HER) Act to permanently repeal the Global Gag Rule and safeguard the health and rights of people around the world.

Women have the right to choose
Planned Parenthood and community health centers must be supported and fully funded so that contraception is available and affordable, and breast and cervical cancer screenings are routinely provided. I fully support reproductive freedom. The decisions
that we make about our bodies, our families, and our futures are deeply personal -- and those decisions must be protected, respected, and free from government interference.
