Carl Sheeler on Abortion

Democratic Senate Challenger

Medically and financially assist a woman's right to choose

Those of us who believe in God or a spiritual being may practice in accordance with those beliefs. However, we should not judge or impinge on those who believe differently nor hold our government responsible for legislating these beliefs. The rights of choice for women should be protected with every effort made to recognize that our communities have a role to support these choices with medical and financial assistance when such a need exists.

Roe v. Wade has been decided; keep abortion legal

Abortions should always be legal.
Sheeler adds, "This is a moral issue that has become political & legislative with religious undertones. Roe v. Wade has decided. I would support the standing law."
