Gerald Malloy: Pro life: let States and People decide rather than courts

Pro life. Per the 10th Amendment I support taking this decision out of the Supreme Court and giving it to States and People.

Gerald Malloy: Would vote to ban abortions federally without any exceptions

A self-proclaimed "conservative Republican," Malloy differentiates himself from Nolan, who was long considered the frontrunner in the race, by positioning himself further to the right. He has said he does not support any additional gun control legislation, and he would vote to ban abortions federally without any exceptions.

Peter Welch: Steadfast advocate for reproductive rights and Proposal 5

In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which struck down the federal right to an abortion, numerous VtDigger readers submitted questions on abortion. Welch cast himself as a steadfast advocate of reproductive rights, and pledged to continue to fight tirelessly for them.

"I will not stop. I will not compromise on protecting reproductive freedom. Not just for women in Vermont--I'll be voting for Proposition 5--but for all women in this nation. Your right to make your own reproductive choices should not depend on the zip code you live in," he said.

Proposal 5, which will appear on the general election ballot in Vermont this November as Article 22, would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.
