Allen Glines: Can't control reproductive rights yet oppose govt. overreach

You cannot claim to be pro life and then suppress and oppress everyone outside of the 1 percent the moment they're born. If a life begins at conception, it does not end at birth.

You can also not claim to be against government overreach while cheering on municipalities that seek total control of the reproductive rights of women.

Bob Harlow: Support a woman's right to control her body

OnTheissues note: Judge Rebecca Bradley had written in 1992 in the Marquette Tribune that supporters of abortion on demand (such as newly elected president Bill Clinton) were murderers. That and other decades-old anti-choice and anti-gay statements were a major issue in Bradley's 2016 judgeship race, which Bradley won.

Eddie Rispone: Pro-life, pro-God, pro-family

John Cornyn: Endorsed by Texas Right to Life

Abortion isn't an issue on which the two men differ, though when Cornyn was running the National Republican Senatorial Committee, he withdrew support for Todd "legitimate rape" Akin. (He did, however, stand by failed Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, who made his own inflammatory comments on rape.)

Texas remains ground zero for the struggle over abortion rights. Much of the omnibus abortion bill filibustered by Democratic state Sen. Wendy Davis last June has become law, though it will be heard by the Fifth Circuit in January. Davis is now running for governor in the same election cycle as Stockman and Cornyn.

Julia Letlow: Will fight against abortion, strongly pro-life

Kat Cammack: Does not support Roe v. Wade

Kelly Craft: Abortion is not healthcare, not safe in any circumstance

Chief among those are outrageous efforts to use this resolution to promote the global abortion industry. The U.S. could not be clearer: there is no international right to abortion. Abortion is not healthcare. Abortion is not safe in any circumstance.

Steve Stockman: AdWatch: If babies had guns, they wouldn't be aborted

• April 11: A tweet announced a new bumper sticker Stockman was offering donors: "If babies had guns, they wouldn't be aborted." And a day later: "Get the bumper sticker that liberals hate! One sticker for every $10."
• April 12: His opinions on ObamaCare and reproductive health: "Will abortion be the only medical procedure not wait-listed and rationed under ObamaCare?" Actually, it's worth noting that ObamaCare does not expand abortion access, and in some places has actually indirectly reduced it.
• July 8: The time he was dismissive of women who want control of their reproductive decisions: "Pro-abortionists scream 'uterus' because they're desperate to eliminate the innocent living human being from the discussion."
• July 8: His claim about liberals: "Conservatives see kids in poverty and want to find the family jobs. Liberals see kids in poverty and say they should have been aborted."

Hilary Franz: I'll ensure that WA is a sanctuary for reproductive care

Hung Cao: Thrilled to see Supreme Court overturn abortion rights

• I am thrilled to see the Justices stand by their careful reading of the law, sending this matter back to the people of Virginia to decide for ourselves through our elected representatives. In Congress, I will always support life. #SCOTUS #ProLife
• Every unborn child is a human being, and I am thrilled that SCOTUS appears to be overturning Roe v. Wade. However, the circumstances surrounding the leak are deeply concerning, and are inexcusable in our highest court. #RoeVWade
• Our country watched the Supreme Court overturn a ruling which previously determined that abortion was a Constitutional right. Now, the court has overturned that ruling, giving the states and the people the opportunity for their voice to be heard on abortion regulation in their communities. I am thrilled to see the Justices bravely stand by their decision. In Congress I will unequivocally support life.
