Making his stance clear, Jack Conway has stated that abortion “should be kept safe and legal.” He added, “I do not support a constitutional amendment to ban abortion.”
Additionally, Conway supports public funding for abortions and public funding of organizations that advocate or perform abortions. On a related note, Jack supports Obama’s health care bill, which provides abortion funding.

Opposing View – Rand Paul is Pro-Life
Support life, Support Rand Paul.
it is disgusting that jack wants to use my tax dollars to pay for abortions even though i am morally opposed to them
I am pro-life, but I know pro-choice democrats who are also voting against Jack because he is too far-left liberal for even them!
i agree with Lacey
I agree that government ignores the Bill of Rights, 2nd Amendment,etc. and is getting way too involved in our lives. But how can a business have a right to discriminate based on the idea of limited government but a woman doesn’t have the right to choose if she is going to have a baby?
Rob, because you don’t have a right to take another person’s life.
I guess then we are let with when does life begin? So does contraception pass muster? Morning after pill?
And why is it a Federal issue anyway?
All important questions, but the fact that Jack Conway supports federally funding abortions (forcing people who are morally opposed to pay for them) should be a problem for anyone
I agree with the other posts. I sympathize with those who are pro-choice, but why are they forcing us pro-life people to pay for these procedures? If they wanna be pro-choice that’s fine, but don’t make the rest of us pay for it.
YES TO LIFE
NO TO JACK CONWAY
I’ve been away from the web for a while. I agree with the concern about federal funding for abortion, but where did Conway say he is for it?
Rob, here he shows he would not end the federal funding for abortion:
