ABORTION SURVEY SHOWS SOME NEBRASKA CANDIDATES WOULD NOT MAKE EXCEPTION TO SAVE MOTHER'S LIFE

LINCOLN- A Right to Life survey of candidates for Nebraska offices shows that some state senators facing reelection would not support abortion to save the life of a mother. The question asked: Under what circumstances, if any, do you believe that abortion should be legal? 

Five incumbent senators either answered no to the exception of preventing the mother's death, or left the answer blank after saying they would permit abortion in no cases. Those senators were Julie Slama of Peru, Joni Albrecht of Thurston, Bruce Bostelman of Brainard, Mike Hilgers of Lincoln and Steve Halloran of Hastings. 

Hilgers and Halloran both left the box blank, but Halloran did so after answering that he favored no circumstances that abortion should be legal. Hilgers commented on the survey: "Abortion is never necessary to protect the life of the mother."
