Rosalind Kurita on Abortion

Women can make their own healthcare choices

When right-wing extremists sought an outright ban on all abortions - even in cases where a woman had been raped, a child was the victim of incest, or the mother's life was in danger, I stood up and fought back. I voted against the extreme ban that was more about politics than sound public policy. I believe women are capable of making their own healthcare choices. We don't need an intrusive government or grand-standing politicians telling us what is best for our families. Source: Campaign website, www.kurita2006.com, "Issues" Feb 6, 2006
