Bill Hagerty on Abortion

 

 


Vehemently opposes taxpayer funds for abortion

Bill vehemently opposes taxpayer funds for abortion and abortion providers; he will fight to defund Planned Parenthood. He's 100 percent pro-life. He will work to pass Pain Capable Legislation and a bill that requires medical care for babies born alive as the result of a botched abortion. He will support constitutionalist judges who support the right to life. Bill will work to improve our foster care and adoption programs.

Possible exceptions for rape/incest, "challenging" situation

Hagerty said, "I hate the thought of abortion in any case. I think it's a very challenging situation--the situation of rape or incest," he said. "It's terrible. I think it's a very infrequent situation. And were it ever to come up, I hope to make sure that it's one of the least frequent things that ever happens and that other alternatives are made available to people."

Anti-Planned Parenthood, according to CC survey.

Hagerty opposes the Christian Coalition survey question on abortion funding

The Christian Coalition inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Public Funding of Abortions (Such as Govt. Health Benefits and Planned Parenthood)?' Self-description by Christian Coalition of America: "These guides help give voters a clear understanding of where candidates stand on important pro-family issues" for all Senate and Presidential candidates.
