On Abortion: Pro-choice

Sprague’s aides were positively gleeful over this week’s polls showing state Senator Stephen F. Lynch of South Boston with a commanding lead on the Democratic side. They believe that Lynch, who opposes abortion, can be beaten by a moderate Republican in the mold of former Governor William Weld - socially liberal yet fiscally conservative. “I will receive support from people who support choice for women, and who don’t have a pro-choice candidate,” she said. “I am going to get that vote. Absolutely.”

On Principles & Values: Socially liberal yet fiscally conservative

At a rally in front of the State House yesterday, Republican state Senator Jo Ann Sprague declared: “All through this process, I’ve heard the pundits ask, ‘How can you beat the Democrats?’ Well today, we begin to answer that question, as this campaign officially moves into high gear and I announce my candidacy for the US Congress.” Sprague’s aides believe that Lynch can be beaten by a moderate Republican in the mold of former Governor William Weld - socially liberal yet fiscally conservative.
