Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Josh Matlow on Oct. 22, 2018.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Organizations like Planned Parenthood (PP) routinely counsel women to have abortions. Given that abortion is a controversial practice that many taxpayers in your municipality find abhorrent, do you agree that PP and similar “sexual health agencies" should not receive taxpayer funds through the municipality? | Says it's not a municipal issue. |
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | -- |
| Do you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice? | Pro-choice (based on verbal response to a constituent in 2018 election) |
| There has been a move in some municipal jurisdictions to pass bylaws which establish censorship zones, also called “bubble zones”, around abortion facilities. These unconstitutional censorship zones make it illegal to express peaceful pro-life speech, including silent prayer, on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within the vicinity of abortion facilities and pharmacies which dispense abortion pills. If elected, would you vote to oppose such a censorship bylaw? | -- |
