Where do candidates for Pa's 8th congressional district stand?

Some candidates for Pa's 8th Congressional District are openly maintaining positions antithetical to Catholic positions on marriage/family and the sanctity of human life.  Can we really safely trust that the silence of others  MAY indicate that they share our values?

In addition to its Action Center alerts and Justice for Immigrants, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has explained that "Action alerts for pro-life issues can also be found through our partner organization, the National Committee for the Human Life Amendment" (i.e., Human Life Action, Action Alerts).  These are the positions presently being advocated:



Where would the candidates stand on the above?  While we may have guesses, it would be great to get direct answers from candidates in the 8th Congressional District. 



Marriage and Family
The Sanctity of Human Life

“He fought for marriage equality long before it was popular”
“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.”

SOCIALIST
Eli Sadoff

“We need national laws to protect our LGBTQ+ citizens from discrimination in the workplace…. Gender hormone therapy and other related transgender medical procedures shall be included within the comprehensive healthcare plan”
“I support creating legislation to strengthen a woman's right to choose and with my healthcare plan making abortions easily available. Women should not be forced to have an ultra-sound and they should not be forced to have a waiting period.”

Anyone have email addresses for the campaigns of Brian Fitzpatrick and Eli Sadoff, so all the candidates can be asked at once, as to where they stand on the above issues?
