Ohio State Representative, 53rd District - Terri S. King (R)

The 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, did more than just "legalize" abortion on demand; they prohibited virtually any federal, state or local laws from protecting pre-born children from death by abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy.

1. Do you support reversal of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton?

   Yes

2. Do you support state legislation to ban abortion-on-demand from fertilization to birth?

   Yes/Yes, with exceptions
   Only if it's in the case of the life of the mother, and it would be her choice to let the baby live if viable and risk the loss of her life. But with the medical procedures and technology we have now I believe it would be very rare for a women's life to be at risk where she would have to have an abortion.

3. Do you support legislation prohibiting use of tax money for organizations that promote or perform abortions?

   Yes

4. Do you support medical standards, regulations, and inspection of abortion facilities?

   Yes

5. Do you support legislation prohibiting the killing of human embryos by extracting their stem cells for scientific research?

   Yes

6. Do you support legislation prohibiting all cloning of human beings?

   Yes

7. Do you support legislation prohibiting assisted suicide in Ohio?

   Yes

8. Will you oppose any legislation or regulation (e.g., campaign finance reform) that has the purpose or effect of restricting, penalizing, chilling, discouraging or prohibiting citizens from contacting their elected representatives or urging others to do so on issues of importance to them?

   Yes

9. List all the organizations to which you have contributed time or money in the past four years.

   There are probably too many to remember, most are Christian Organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Samaritan's Purse, Food for the Hungry, Fellowship of Christians and Jews, Jews for Jesus, World Relief, St. Judes, and others. I believe I have contributed to Right to Life, but I'm not sure. I know I've contributed to groups fighting for the Sanctity of Life and to Stop Abortion.
