  Comments:   Pro-life answers to questionnaire but told priest she would not support defunding because it would risk loss of federal grants for health care and also because there might be rare cases where funding would be necessary for poor women whose life is endangered. Not known to have taken any actions or speak out on life issues or to make them a priority. This election and last, her campaign workers gave answers contradicting her questionnaire or verbal responses. Consistently avoids giving direct answers about personal belief on same-sex marriage other than to say it is federal matter and she would not support using notwithstanding clause.
