From Ed Gillespie’s website (edforsenate.com)
Q. ARE YOU PRO-LIFE?
A. I am pro-life, and believe we should foster a culture that respects human life. This means that as a civil society, we must respect and protect the most vulnerable among us, including the unborn, the sick, those with disabilities, and the elderly.
I would oppose taxpayer funding of abortion, and believe it was a mistake to abandon the explicit prohibition in federal law against it, as Mark Warner voted to do with Obamacare.
I understand that women facing an unplanned pregnancy need compassion and support, not judgment or condemnation. I support education and health care to help women avoid unplanned pregnancies, and believe we must offer life-affirming alternatives to women facing difficult decisions, ensuring that they have the opportunity to choose life. I support adoption and believe that government should help both women and children by making it easier, more affordable, and more accessible for both newborns and those in foster care.
What’s to prevent a disenchanted registered Democrat from going to the polls and voting straight Republican? If that can happen, how can any of these polls be accurate?
Thanks. Ive read that, and also his fumble when confronting the issue in the debates.
Being pro life is not something that is going to kill your campaign in VA. Actually, for a gop person here its pretty much expected. So given that Gillespie is a Roveian, is there something there to recommend him? If confronted with an opportunity to push for life, is he just going to fold like a cheap suit?
Im honestly looking for a reason to vote for him. He’s meh on guns. An establishment darling and a friend of rove. If all we get out of him is yet another establishment puke in the mcconnell mold, then Im not going to bother.
