She has some strong views about LIFE. I’d give her my vote, if I lived in Fresno.

Whitman said she supports abortion rights - including public funding for abortions - and believes tough gun laws like assault weapon bans and handgun control are appropriate for California.

Asked if she would favor cutting benefits such as welfare or health care to illegal immigrants, Whitman said that although border enforcement is important she would not support such cuts, because “whether they’re legal or illegal (immigrants), those benefits go to children ... and we have to protect the children.”

...

— Abortion rights: “I am pro-choice, and while I would like ... to bring down the number of abortions in America, I don’t think we can take choice away from women and their partners and doctors.” Whitman says she supports government funding for abortions, saying, “As long as abortion is legal, it has to be made available to women of all means.”

I can only thank my God that you are not franchised in California.
