Brian Macdonald on Abortion

Republican Senate Challenger

Opposes abortion, but focuses on reducing abortion demand

Macdonald opposes the VoteMatch statement, "Abortion is a woman's right". Macdonald adds, "I am opposed to abortion, but I believe that people on both sides of this issue should spend less time fighting each other and more time working together." to dramatically reduce the demand for abortion. The death of one fetus by abortion is one too many, but the death of one woman because of a 'back alley' abortion is also one too many." Source: Email interview with OnTheIssues.org Feb 1, 2006
