Lee Jones on Abortion

2004 former Democratic Senate Challenger (KS)

I would not work to take away the right of a woman's choice

I don't think there is a decent human alive who is happy about an abortion. It is, and should be, a deliberative process by which a woman chooses to continue or to end a pregnancy. But it is ultimately a choice that a woman must make herself, and the highest court in the land has upheld that right. I would not work to take away that right.

Encouraging abstinence is rooted in denial

Approaches to pregnancy prevention is equally important [as allowing a woman the right to choose]. Encouraging abstention, while noble in intent, is simply inadequate and rooted in denial. While abstention should be included, contraceptive options must not be overlooked when counseling people about pregnancy prevention. Source: Campaign website, www.jonesforsenate.us Oct 21, 2004
