2011 Survey Response

the respect of human life? A consistent ethic of life focuses first on abortion, but also on

issues such as end of life care, poverty, capital punishment, war, racism, nuclear arms

and exploitation. While these are nationally debated issues, they have street level

manifestations that municipalities can address. A consistent ethic of life recognizes that

each and every human being is unique and important, that no person is defined by

someone else's choices, and that no one exists solely as a means to someone else's

happiness. The choices we make, as individuals and as a society, must be weighed in

light of their impact on human life and dignity. Do municipal governments have a

responsibility to implement public policies and facilitate community action that further a

consistent respect of all human life?

COMMUNITY PREGNANCY ASSISTANCE CENTERS

2. YES

Currently, attempts are being made by pro abortion advocates to pass legislation in

several states targeting pro-life pregnancy centers, even though such centers provide

those states with valuable community services. In Washington State HB 1366 and SB

5274 require: 1. The listing of non-provided services both orally and in writing. This sets

a dangerous precedent allowing any organization with political clout to saddle its

competitors with burdensome requirements of saying or listing what they do not do. In

January of this year, a federal judge ruled that "the Ordinance violates the Freedom of

Speech Clause of Article I of the Constitution of the United States" (pg. 2) and has a

"lack of viewpoint neutrality ... a particularly offensive form of content-based

discrimination" (pg. 20). 2. These bills allow any Planned Parenthood employee, private

citizen, or government entity to bring petitions for injunctions even if they are repeatedly

thrown out of court. A local pregnancy center, surviving on donations, cannot defend

itself in Superior Court pro se (without representation) and cannot afford to pay a lawyer

to defend them even once, yet alone multiple times. 3. These bills do not regulate

conduct, but instead are directed only at the speech of pregnancy centers

(www.protectwomenwa.com, 2011). Do you oppose bills such as HB 1366 and SB

5274 that attempt to burden pro-life pregnancy centers?

PUBLIC LIBRARY PORNOGRAPHY

3. YES

In the US Supreme Court ruling United States v. American Library Association, Inc,

2003, which upheld the use of library internet pornography filters, Chief Justice

Rehnquist stated for the plurality that "to fulfill their traditional missions, public libraries

must have broad discretion to decide what material to provide to their patrons. Although

they seek to provide a wide array of information, their goal has never been to provide

'universal coverage,'" and "most libraries already exclude pornography from their print

collections because they deem it inappropriate for inclusion." In 2010, the Washington

State Supreme Court ruled that public libraries' use of internet filters does not violate the

state constitution. Will you as a city council person appoint, recommend or request

(depending on your level of authority) only library board candidates who oppose the

inclusion of pornography in public libraries, whether by internet or as printed materials?

REGULATION OF SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES

4. YES

The U.S. Supreme Court in Young v. American Mini Theaters, Inc., (1976) and Renton v.

Playtime Theater, Inc., (1986), concluded that municipalities have "substantial

governmental interests" in protecting and preserving the quality of life for its community

against the adverse secondary effects of sexually oriented businesses while allowing for

"reasonable alternative avenues of communication." Land Use Studies from cities

around the United States were cited in both U.S. Supreme Court cases documenting

the harmful secondary effects including 1. Increased Crime - rape, sexual assault,

prostitution and illegal drug sales; 2. Decreased Property Values - both residential and

commercial; and 3. Urban Blight - people and businesses fleeing the community. Will

you diligently seek and maintain zoning ordinances, licensing procedures, permit

requirements and operational regulations which serve to minimize the adverse

secondary effects of Sexually Oriented Businesses?

ABORTION

5. YES

Do you believe that it is scientifically accurate to say that human life begins at

conception?

If not at conception, when? ___ 3 mths ___ 6 mths ___ 9 mths ___ 1 yr ___

18 yrs?

6. YES

The 14th Amendment states "nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or

property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the

equal protection of the laws." The Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade, 1973, stated that "if

this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses,

for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the [14th]

Amendment." The Court regrettably concluded though that "we need not resolve the

difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of

medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary,

at this point in the development of man's knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as

to the answer." Do you believe that life begins at conception and that the State has a

compelling interest in protecting that life?

7. Is taking the life of a pre-born child through abortion ever permissible? Check all that

apply:

_____ it's never permissible

__X___ Yes, to save mother's life: in the RARE instance when the motherʼs life is

threatened by continuing the pregnancy then neither mother nor baby would survive.

_____ Yes, in cases of rape or incest

_____ Yes, for physical deformity

_____ Yes, for genetic predispositions

_____ Yes, for gender

_____ Yes, for race

_____ Yes, for economic hardship

_____ Yes, to punish spouse

_____ Yes, it's always permissible

8. Do you support parental notification and/or consent before a minor (under 18 years of

age) could have an abortion? A judicial bypass of parents would be allowed when

necessary.

Notification? YES

Consent? YES

PLANNED PARENTHOOD

9. NEVER

Should your city partner in any way with the nation's biggest abortion provider, Planned

Parenthood, who received over $350 million dollars in governmental grants and

contracts, and aborted nearly 305,000 babies? Should they be contracted with to make

community presentations, provide literature, birth control chemicals or devises, and/or

abortion services?

GAMING

10. STOP

The recently approved casino off I-5 near Ridgefield would be one of the largest in the

nation. What is your position on the building of this casino?

CONTRIBUTIONS OF RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS

11. "Religious communities are the largest and best-organized civil institutions in the

world, claiming the allegiance of billions across race, class, and national divides. These

communities have particular cultural understandings, infrastructures, and resources to

get help where it is needed most" (World Conference of Religions for Peace).

Southwest Washington has a broad range of religious communities that contribute

substantially to the welfare of families, children, seniors, the homeless, sick, and

refugees. They are a highly valued part of our community which respects and defends

human life at every stage. Are you an active member in a church, synagogue, temple,

mosque or other religious assembly?

If so, you may state here where at: YES, River Rock, Camas, WA

FAITH-BASED AND NEIGHBORHOOD PARTNERSHIPS

12. YES

The White House's Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships ensures that

religious and other community organizations are able to compete on an equal footing for

participation in Federal programs without impairing the character of such organizations

and without diminishing the religious freedom of those served. Does the collaboration

of government with faith-based charitable works lawfully ensure fair treatment of

religious organizations, and is it good for our communities?
