Bob Tingle on Abortion

Republican Senate Challenger (RI)

Abortion is not a woman's right

Q: Do you support the statement, "Abortion is a woman's right"?

A: I am proudly pro life. I support the reversal of Roe vs. Wade. I am opposed to EMBRYONIC stem cell research and human cloning.

Opposed to EMBRYONIC stem cell research

I AM PROUDLY PRO-LIFE. I will fight to protect the lives of innocent unborn children. I am opposed to EMBRYONIC stem cell research and human cloning. The reversal of the Roe vs. Wade Decision will be a top priority of mine as your United States Senator !!!! Source: Campaign website, www.bobtingle.com, "Issues" Jul 11, 2008

No to any judicial nominee that supports Roe v. Wade

When it comes to judicial appointments to the Supreme Court, he won't budge; he'll "say no" to any judicial nominee that supports Roe v. Wade. "I am saying I won't appoint a judge if they don't support overturning Roe v. Wade under any circumstances." A Roman Catholic, Tingle said he is "very strongly" pro-life: "My position is abolishing abortion [is as like] abolishing slavery."

Protect unborn children; no embryo research

I will fight with every fiber of my being to protect the lives of innocent unborn children. Under no circumstances will I support the nomination of any pro-abortion judge to the U.S. Supreme Court. I support legislation to ban human cloning and embryonic stem cell research. Source: RI Republican Party web site, www.RIGOP.org Apr 27, 2002
