The Washington Post

The candidates Tina Sanders, and Ray Reid answered a few questions that the citizens want to know about during their press conference. Both candidates were well prepared this time around in the conference. When candidate Tina Sanders was asked if abortion costs would be covered by the heath costs she answered yes that they would be covered. For example it would more than likely cover programs that help women who want to get an abortion, along with the plan B pill which is for sure covered in the health costs already. Also the plan would include some medicine or materials that would be needed when performing the abortion and procedures necessary when a woman’s life is at risk. On the topic regarding education candidate Tina Sanders, was asked if there was any educational programs that will educate people over teen pregnancy and her response was that there are many different educational programs  such as planned parenthood that will help educate teens over teen pregnancy and about the risks that come with getting pregnant so young. On another note candidate Ray Reid was asked over abortion and his response to us was that abortion is a personal choice, which the state and government do not have to interfere. Yet the candidate Ray Reid supported the Federal funding Bill for abortion. His stance on the issue of abortion is very vague and unclear. There were many unanswered questions over for the citizens, but hopefully they will be addressed in the next press conference. Be sure to let us know your thoughts on the candidates.  We want to wish both of the candidates, Tina Sanders and Ray Reid, the best of luck to their campaign on this journey in the run for office, from the wonderful staff here at The Washington Post newspaper.
