Life Issues

  • Christy supports the use of adult stem cells in scientific research. However, he opposes embryonic stem cell research, which are harvested living embryos, a process that destroys the embryo.
  • Christy supports replacing the current "opt-out" law with an "opt-in" law that would require schools to have parents opt their children into any class, assembly or other event in which human sexuality would be discussed.
  • Christy opposes the Massachusetts proposed legislation that would expand to 35 feet, the so-called "buffer zone" around abortion clinics. This violates the first amendment freedom of speech for sidewalk counselors.
  • Christy oppposes the use of public funds for abortions.
