Mike Ferguson opposes women's right to choose to have an abortion, going so far as to say it would be a "great day for America" if a Constitutional Amendment were passed making it illegal.
He would even support a law that would require a woman to carry to term a pregnancy caused by rape or incest, making it a crime to do otherwise.
Our friend Vicky, who is from Clark, recently asked the question that everyone should ask Mike Ferguson about making abortions illegal:"What's he gonna do? Put them in jail?"
And that is not sarcasm, but a very serious question about Mike Ferguson's radical position. If he succeeds in his mission to make abortion a crime, then he will succeed in making the women who have abortions criminals. Is he going to put them in jail?

If Ferguson won't answer your question, then ask it in public by writing a letter to the editor. Here are some of the e-mail addresses for the major papers in our area:
Mike Ferguson must be accountable to the consequences of his actions, positions and votes. This is your chance to make it happen.
