Ron Hanks on Abortion

 

 


Pro-life, but would allow exceptions for rape and incest

In a 2010 survey, Hanks wrote: "I am pro-life, but I will hold open a measured and narrow window for medical experts--I am not one--to provide expertise and guidance in specific situations. We should not consider abortion a form of birth control without consequences, nor advocate it as such to our children. We must promote adoption, and remove the shame from carrying a child to term. No federal funding, and this issue would be better addressed by the individual states."

According to the VoteSmart website, Hanks responded [to their] survey "directly by taking the Political Courage Test. "Hanks (who ran under his birth name, Loren) ran for Congress in District 1, located in Northern California. Hanks answered "yes" to the following questions, and in an email to Colorado Politics he affirmed the positions in the survey and added context on others. "My answers from that survey remain valid and are my positions to this day," he said.
