Choose not to answer

These decisions are deeply personal. I had a miscarriage when I was 22 years old. I had just lost my father from black lung. It was the worst season of my life. I couldn't imagine not being able to get the attention I needed

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Choose not to answer

Federal law strictly regulates how Title X and grant funds are used. This will not be a decision my office will be able to vote on since it's a federal decision. My focus is on ensuring all Kentuckians have access to high-quality, affordable primary and maternal healthcare services. I consider myself a person of strong faith, and I do not judge others for their choices. One-size-fits-all legislation will cause people, including women, to die.

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Medical care is vital for a healthy community, and providers need reassurance that women can access necessary care safely. Exceptions must always exist to protect the life and health of the mother, as well as in cases of rape or incest. We never think these tragedies will happen to us- until they do. At 32, I survived an attempted kidnapping and rape by a cousin. It was petrifying, but I stopped it. Women facing these moments deserve protection, compassionate care, and medical safety.

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
