NEVADA RIGHT TO LIFE

From conception to natural death,

worth protecting.

Reno, NV 89511

2010 Survey for State Candidates

ABORTION-RELATED QUESTIONS

1. Nevada Right to Life (NVRTL) believes that unborn children

should be protected by law, and that abortion should be permitted
only when necessary to prevent the death of the mother. Under
what circumstances, if any, do you believe that abortion should be
legal?
Y=Only to prevent the death of the mother (the NVRTL position).
Y2=To prevent the mothers death, in cases of incest committed against a minor, and in reported cases of forcible
rape.
2. Do you support the reversal of the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton
decisions, so that elected legislative bodies may once again protect
unborn children by limiting or prohibiting abortion?
3. Would you support legislation to require that any mother considering an abortion first must be provided with clear and accurate
information about the capacity of an unborn child to feel pain, and
about possible alternatives to lessen or avoid that pain?
4. Many women who undergo abortions, later regret thatthey were
not given full information about their unborn child beforehand.
Would you support legislation to require that before an abortion,
the abortionist must perform an ultrasound and display the ultrasound images for the mother, so that she may view the images?
5. Laws are in effect in 29 states requiring notification or consent of
at least one parent (or authorization by a judge) before an abortion can be performed on a minor. Our State has such a law, NRS
442.255, but it has been enjoined and is not enforced. Would you
support efforts that would enforce this existing law (already found
constitutional) that would require parental involvement prior to a
minor obtaining an abortion?
6. Would you support a legal prohibition on all human cloning on a
state level, including the creation of human embryos by cloning?
7. Would you oppose clone-and-kill legislation on a state level
that would permit the creation of human embryos by cloning but
prohibit allowing such human clones to live past a defined point of
development?
8. Would you support legislation that would prevent fetus farming
in humans, by prohibiting establishing a human pregnancy for any
purpose other than intending a live birth.
9. Would you vote to recognize unborn children as victims of violent
crimes, including supporting an Unborn Victims of Violence Bill,
and oppose counter-proposals that would treat crimes that injure
or kill unborn children as if they were only additional injuries to
their mothers?
10. A Womans Right to Know bill protects a womans right to
know the medical risks associated with abortion, its alternatives
and nonjudgmental, scientifically accurate medical facts about the
development of her unborn child before making this permanent
and life-affecting decision. Would you oppose any attempts to
weaken this law?
11. Would you vote to add strong abortion-exclusion language to
any legislation that would define a specific package of health care
benefits?

12. The recently passed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, HR
3590, which, according to National Right to Life, is the largest expansion
of abortion funding since Roe v. Wade Would you support efforts for
our state to opt out of the federal healthcare system?
EUTHANASIA ISSUES

13. If a patient, while competent, had requested food and fluids, should
the patient be given food and fluids?
14. If a patient, while competent, had not made his or her wishes known,
should the patient be given food and fluids?
15. Would you support preventing involuntary denial of lifesaving medical treatment by providing that if failure to comply with a patients or
surrogates choice for lifesaving treatment would in reasonable medical
judgment be likely to result in the patients death, a health care provider
unwilling to respect the choice for lifesaving treatment must allow the
patient to be transferred to a willing provider and must provide treatment pending transfer?
16. In 1991, Oregon approved a health care rationing plan for its Medicaid program. An important factor in denial of treatment is the expected
degree of disability or poor quality of life it is claimed a patient would
be likely to have after treatment. This is a form of involuntary euthanasia. Would you vote to oppose any legislation in this state that, like
the Oregon plan, would impose rationing that intentionally denies
treatment on the basis of disability or quality of life of those denied
treatment?
17. Would you support a law to prevent assisting suicide by allowing
relatives or others affected by an attempted or completed suicide, as
well as public officials, to sue the person who assists for money damages and to obtain an injunction against future attempts by that person
to assist suicides?
Oregon has adopted a law affirmatively legalizing prescription of lethal
drugs to assist suicide in certain cases.
18. Would you oppose the legalization of assisting suicide through
lethal prescription as under the Oregon law?
HEALTH CARE RATIONING

How this state may obtain health care and health insurance is a significant issue, as proposals to move toward state universal health care are
being widely discussed. The restructuring of the health care and health
insurance system is a matter of central importance to the pro-life movement because when the government rations health care in a way that
makes it illegal or impossible for citizens to choose lifesaving medical
treatment, food, and fluids, it imposes a type of involuntary euthanasia.
19. Would you vote against any bill that would prohibit or limit the right
to spends ones own money for health care or health insurance?
20. Would you vote against any bill that would impose price controls on
health insurance premiums?
CONSCIENCE RIGHTS

21. Our country and state have a long history of the protection of an individuals rights to conscience. Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other
medical professionals are undergoing an assault on their deeply held
moral and/or religious beliefs. Do you believe doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other medical professionals should be allowed to refuse to
participate in abortions, physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia?
