“A
judge just threw out Pennsylvania's ban on gay marriage! This is wonderful
news for families in the 8th District and across the state, and a big win for
civil equality….in Congress I will continue to fight for equal rights” (https://www.facebook.com/ShaughnessyForCongress/posts/461783367301267)
|
“When
elected to Congress I will fight to:
• Keep politicians out of women’s private healthcare decisions • Ensure access to quality, affordable health care, including reproductive health care” (http://shaughnessyforcongress.com/issues/)

Steve Santarsiero
(Pa State Rep)
|
“In
the legislature he co-sponsored HB 300, which protects Pennsylvanians from
discrimination based on their sexual orientation. He fought for
marriage equality long before it was popular and called on the Supreme Court
to rule in favor of equal rights” (http://santarsieroforcongress.com/issues/equal-rights/).
Co-sponsor
of HB
1510, which has been called “intolerant and prejudiced against people of
faith” (Pa
Catholic Conference).
|
“He
has also stood up for the reproductive rights of women. Time and again, Steve
has had to stand up to attempts to limit women’s access to reproductive care,
shut down women’s health organizations, and the Corbett Administration’s
proposed invasive ultrasound bill” (http://santarsieroforcongress.com/issues/equal-rights/).
Planned
Parenthood rated his “Position on Reproductive Rights” as “supports” and his
“Position on Preventative Healthcare” as “supports” (http://www.plannedparenthoodpa.org/legislature/legislative-scorecard/).

"
if it becomes the norm it [same sex "marriage"] will violently
dilute the very essence of matrimony and serve only to weaken the institution
of marriage itself..... In contemporary society, little contemplation is
occasioned either by the act of marriage or now, also the act of
divorce....Perhaps it is time for us to recognize that family is the bedrock
of society" (Top
Ten Weapons in the Left's War on the Family, 5/4/12).
“when
the Democrats get power, they are very rigid, very disciplined, no matter
what the issue. Whether it’s expanding access to abortion or redefining
marriage …. But when Republicans get power, they immediately start
compromising. It’s amazing. Power causes Republicans to back away from their
principles. It’s really hard for me to understand why that Is” (J.D.
Mullane, Marine asks GOP to support congressional bid, BC Courier Times.

"Unrestricted
access to abortion renders the incredibly serious business of human sexual
behavior seemingly inconsequential. And it renders marriage superfluous"
(Top
Ten Weapons in the Left's War on the Family, 5/4/12).
“Pro-Life”
“You’re
a pro-life guy and I am, too. And it’s interesting because I’ve had pro-life
Democrats come to me and say they’re with me. I come at the pro-life issue as
a libertarian, because I believe it is the government’s responsibility to
protect the autonomy and sanctity of the individual, including the unborn.
Pro-life is not a strictly religious argument” (J.D.
Mullane, Marine asks GOP to support congressional bid, BC Courier Times.

Andrew Warren

“Warren
changed parties last year after concluding the GOP had moved too far to the
right…. ‘What really tipped the scale was Schiavo,’ he said of the
right-to-die case involving Terri Schiavo, who was raised in Huntingdon
Valley. ‘I knew I was not even in the same book as the national organization’….On
abortion, Warren said he was ‘100 percent in favor of a woman's right to
choose’” (Philadelphia
Inquirer, 4/11/06)
