On August 21, The Hudson Valley Coalition for Life called two local candidates to conduct a quick survey on prolife views prior to the the September 9 Republican primary for the New York 99th Assembly District. Greg Ball personally responded the next day.
We had hoped to publish both candidates' responses side by side, but we have again contacted Mr. Degnan's campaign and have been promised these, with apologies. LifeNet will post them as soon as received.
1. What is your position on Parental Notification for abortions, especially minor abortions? Support.
2. What is your position on partial birth abortion? Please describe partial birth abortion in your response so that readers will know that you know what this is (you'd be surprised how many politicians do not know these things!) I do not support infanticide.
(Editor's note: Greg Ball has been vetted in person on knowledge of the partial birth abortion procedure.)
3. What is your position on taxpayer funding of abortions? Against.
4. What is your position on stem cell research, adult and embryonic, and taxpayer funding of both? Support umbilical and adult stem cell research.
5. What is your position on Governor Spitzer's (now Governor Patterson's) RHAPP (Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection Act) bill? Against.
