C4n3p is Anti-Choice and Anti-Honest About It

The Dallas Morning News interviewed the candidates about their views on the important issue of a woman's right to choose her own reproductive destiny. Not only is Carole 4 names 3 parties against a woman's right to choose, c4n3p won't even answer straight questions about her views on the issue:

Should Roe vs. Wade be overturned?

Bell: No. We need to reduce the number of abortions in Texas by reducing unwanted pregnancies. Gov. Rick Perry's policies have failed to reduce abortions, which have increased under his administration.

Perry: The final disposition of Roe vs. Wade is up to Congress or the courts.

Strayhorn: I believe in the sanctity of life.

Are Texas laws too restrictive for adult women? Would you favor adding new restrictions or repealing current ones?

Bell: The informed-consent requirements should conform to mainstream medical knowledge, which refutes the link between breast cancer and abortion. Medicaid births cost Texas several hundred million dollars a year; let's spend smart and reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies.

Perry: The governor has worked hard to increase the role of parents and guardians in the major life-changing decisions of their young daughters, and minor abortions have dropped significantly. He recently signed a parental-consent law because he believes it will save young lives by further involving parents.

Strayhorn: Declined to answer.

Should abortion be legal in cases of rape, incest and to protect the life of the woman?

Bell: Yes.

Perry: Yes.

Strayhorn: I know there are those extraordinarily tough circumstances where heartbreaking choices have to be made.

Should pharmacists be allowed to refuse to dispense the "morning-after" pill?

Bell: No. The morning-after pill is birth control. Doctors and patients should make health care decisions, not insurance companies, pharmacists and cynical politicians.

Perry: Yes, if it violates their conscience, they should not be forced to dispense such a pill.

Strayhorn: Declined to answer.

Should schools limit discussion of pregnancy prevention to abstinence-only?

Bell: Obviously, abstinence should play a prominent role in sex education. But we need to give our kids the age-appropriate, medically accurate information they need to keep from getting pregnant in the first place.

Perry: Abstinence is the surest way of preventing unintended pregnancies and should be taught as such.

Strayhorn: Declined to answer.
