Adam Laxalt on Abortion |
Adam Laxalt (R): Has signed onto lawsuits to significantly limit. Said would "look into" repealing NV abortion rights law, though later reversed this statement.
Steve Sisolak (D): Legal. Reproductive decisions should be between a woman and her doctor.
Q: Allow Planned Parenthood to receive public funds for non-abortion health services?
Adam Laxalt (R): Unclear. Investigated Planned Parenthood to confirm it didn't do surgical abortions, but public funding is for federal government to decide.
Steve Sisolak (D): Yes. Ran ad saying that as a single father relied on Planned Parenthood to get his daughters health screenings and information.
Last week, Republican gubernatorial candidate and Attorney General Adam Laxalt visited First Choice Pregnancy Services, a crisis pregnancy center. It provides free services for pregnant women, including pregnancy tests, ultrasounds and counseling. The goal of crisis pregnancy centers is to help mothers choose life for their preborn babies.
"If his outspoken opposition to Planned Parenthood isn't enough, his embrace of this shameful group is enough to demonstrate where he stands," tweeted Democratic gubernatorial candidate and Clark County Commission Chair Steve Sisolak in response to Laxalt's visit.
Is it shameful to give pregnant women free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds? Neither Sisolak nor his campaign responded to calls for comments.
