Preparing to vote

United States Senator

Mike McGavick - "I believe that the choice should exist and therefore do not support a constitutional ban on the practice. However,[we should] work to change the hearts and minds of those who would seek an abortion - to show them that there are other options available. I support parental notifications, a ban on partial birth abortion, and a restriction on federal spending for abortion related services. The fact remains that this deeply personal issue needs to remain personal and the choice should exist." - from http://www.issues2000.org/social/Mike_McGavick_Abortion.htm

All of the others are openly pro-choice, just flat out.

United States Representative

Larry W. Ishmael - "Mr. Ishmael believes that there are two instances where abortion is acceptable and those are: 1) when the pregnancy resulted from incest or rape, (2) when the health of the mother if at stake. He has had personal experience with the latter and it took a heavy emotional toll on he and his wife, but the circumstances dictated it. The exceptions Mr. Ishmael draws are because only in those instances does the woman not have control over the decision to become pregnant." - from http://www.vote-smart.org/npat.php?can_id=MWA78412#0

WA state Senator

Toby Nixon

Getting less exciting at this point. My "dummy litmus" issue is making the decision way too easy. Will post the rest if something exciting happens or if real introspection is required.
