Since the three primary candidates were running for governor, they had many issues and topics to cover. Some people may have agreed with their beliefs and morals, while others may not. There are three issues addressed by the governors during their election campaigns on which I disagree. The themes are abortion, marriage and the death penalty. I think these are important topics that need to be taken seriously, because they affect someone's life. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy and causes the death of the fetus. Ken Cuccinelli is against abortion. Ken co-sponsored a bill to ban abortion, even in cases of rape. Ken is fanatical about taking away women's right to choose. He urged people to go to prison to protest women's access to contraception and even accused pro-choice people of killing children. It also sponsored “Choose Life” license plates in Virginia, effectively creating a steady stream of funding for anti-choice “crisis pregnancy centers.” Terry McAuliffe has pledged to never compromise on the issue of abortion. Terry said, “Women need to know, every Virginian needs to know that there are inconsistencies. He said he will reopen clinics that have closed by regulation. He said he would oppose any restrictions against abortion. He also said he follows Virginia's abortion laws, but Virginia has some of the most pro-life laws in the country. “Terry supports abortion on demand at any time for any reason, paid for by Virginia taxpayers.” McAuliffe's campaign tells us that he "supports maintaining Virginia's existing laws when abortions are legal." McAuliffe supports Virginia's existing abortion laws that prohibit... middle of paper... the real world, we must take a modern approach that is proven to work and built to last.” It says that parents, not politicians or bureaucrats, should be responsible for the money spent on their children's education and that teachers must be freed from the politicized and bureaucratic status quo and rewarded for the educational value they create. Robert Sarvis plans to maximize school choice through public school matching programs, ending educational fads, deregulating private schools and public school reform, and advancing every aspect of education policy. I couldn't agree more with their positions. Even though I don't like SOL tests and am about to graduate, I think improving the tests and making them easier to pass is a great idea. Yes, I agree that teachers are underpaid and do so much every day to teach the material to kids.
