"Family is between a man and a woman"... |
|
Stonewall Democrats Denounce LD-4 Democratic House
Candidate Jose Suarez |

On Wednesday July 9th, Arizona
Clean Elections sponsored a debate for Legislative
District 4 House candidates at the Hampton Inn in
Yuma. During the debate, Jose Suarez, one of
the three Democratic candidates for the district,
stated that he opposes gay marriage because two
males wouldn’t be able to procreate, and “the family
is something that is created between a man and a
woman. Mr. Suarez also stated he only supports
abortion in the case of birth defects of the child
or when the pregnancy presents danger to the
mother’s life. |
| |
|
Stonewall Democrats find it
despicable that Mr. Suarez would use the tired
Republican extremist argument that marriage is
procreation based. Along his line of thinking
men not able to father a child and women not able to
conceive a child should not be allowed to marry.
Further, Stonewall very strongly supports a women's
right to chose. Each woman and each man should
have the absolute right to decide what is best for
themselves, what is best for their own body.
Mr. Suarez stated that even in the case of rape a
woman should have no right to abort. |
| |
|
While we at Stonewall appreciate
the fact that Mr. Suarez "respects the community of
homosexuals" we strongly condemn and denounce his
comments along with he and his candidacy and would
ask that voters in LD-4 who believe that all people
are created equal side with us and elect Charlene
Fernandez and Lisa Otondo for the Arizona House of
Representatives. |
