Anchorage voters in Alaska House Lake Otis District (12) and Senate Hillside/Centennial Park (F) have a golden opportunity to protect unborn Alaskans from abortion, but they will need to turn out in force to do so.

Incumbent House member Calvin Schrage has been powerfully effective in preventing any prolife legislation from even coming to a vote, via strategic committee assignments. His website proclaims that he’s “Proudly endorsed by” our state and nation’s number one abortionist, Planned Parenthood. He ensures that state funds pay for a majority of those abortions.

In fact, for every 10 babies killed in Alaska, roughly four are carried to Washington and Oregon to be killed in late-term abortion – also on our dime. Rep. Schrage will work to keep this status quo.

His challenger, however, is 100% pro-life Joseph Lurtsema, who also happens to be pro-PFD, against new taxes, supportive of responsible development, and committed to protecting our Alaska environment.

A vote for him is a win-win choice.
