John Schiess on Abortion

Oppose 98% of abortions, and all government funding

I am against all government funded abortions and am against 98% of them generally. My religion recognizes three exceptions: Life of the mother, rape or incest, and gross deformity. This decision is made by chose of the family in counsel with church leaders. This decision is made as early as possible, in the first trimester.

Parental notification before performing abortions on minors

Abortions should be legal when the pregnancy resulted from incest or rape.
Abortions should be legal when the life of the woman is endangered.
Require clinics to give parental notification before performing abortions on minors.
