2024 WV Senate race: on Abortion


Glenn Elliott: Restore the balanced framework that Roe v. Wade provided

As your Senator, I will be dedicated to safeguarding the freedom for women to make informed decisions about their health and futures. It's about ensuring that every woman in West Virginia and across this great nation retains the right to privacy, to healthcare, and to choose. I will steadfastly advocate for legislation that protects these rights and restores the balanced framework that Roe v. Wade provided, ensuring that reproductive healthcare remains a decision between a woman and her doctor.

Glenn Elliott: Restore women's reproductive rights; codify Roe

Restoring women's reproductive rights is a top priority of my campaign. After the Dobbs Decision, women across the country lost their right to make choices about their own body. If elected to the United States Senate, I will vote to codify Roe.

Alex Mooney: Promote culture of life from conception to natural death

Q: Abortion providers should not receive taxpayer funds (including Title X grants)?

A: Strongly Agree. Congressman Mooney cosponsored the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015 which prohibits taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood for a year, until a Congressional investigation into their gruesome abortion practices can be completed. He also cosponsored the Abortion Full Disclosure Act of 2015 which ensures tax dollars are not used to fund abortions and requires Obamacare to offer insurance plans that do not mandate abortion coverage.

Q: Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

A: I believe in the importance to defend and promote the culture of life from conception to natural death.

Q: Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?

A: I have been a longtime sponsor of the Life at Conception Act which simply defines that human life begins at the moment of conception.
