John McCravy's ivoterguide.com source gives a direct Tier 1 answer on Cost of living: Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed? Only to save the life or serious bodily health of the mother. In that situation, separation of the pre-born child from the mother may be required, but all efforts should be taken to save the life of the child
“Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed? Only to save the life or serious bodily health of the mother. In that situation, separation of the pre-born child from the mother may be required, but all efforts should be taken to save the life of the child and the child should not be needlessly killed in utero. I do not believe a pre-born child should be killed because of the way it was conceived and I do not believe a pre-born child should be killed because it has a disability. Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes. Strongly Agree Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants). Strongly Agree I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia. Strongly Disagree” • Voter Guide Profile for SC State Rep., Dist. 13 candidate - John McCravy
