Past and present Senate candidates from Wyoming: on Abortion


Charlie Hardy: Men need to shut up about abortion

Abortion, Hardy said, is a private matter for a woman to decide. He said no one is in favor of abortion, and he feels men need to stop telling women what to do while taking responsibility for their own actions. "Men need to shut up about it," Hardy said. "That's what I think."

Michael Enzi: 100% rating from the National Right to Life Committee

Q: You have started running your first TV ad of the campaign; here's a clip:

CHENEY: "When I was 12 years old, my dad ran for Congress and we campaigned together as a family all across Wyoming. I'm running for the United States Senate because it's time for a new generation of leaders to step up to the plate."

Q: You say in that ad it's time for a new generation. But let's look at Mike Enzi's record. He has a 93% lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union, 100% from the National Right to Life Committee, and an A-plus from the NRA. Is there something wrong with that record? Or are you just saying that at age 69, he is too old?

CHENEY: It's not about age. He's been here for 18 years; when you're in a position like that, it's not enough just to say, "You know what, I'm going to go along and get along. I'm going to continue business as usual here in Washington." You've got to demonstrate results.

Gary Trauner: Strong advocate for women's abortion rights

Trauner has cast himself as a moderate Democrat, touting his career in business, his support for gun rights and advocacy for an energy plan that incorporates conventional sources like coal and sustainable sources like wind. He also says government should stay out of Americans' personal lives and health decisions; he's for abortion rights.
