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.

Is a total ban on abortion what you seek? One that gives preference to the embryo at the expense of the mother? One that makes no exemptions in cases of rape or incest or fetal deformity? No wonder that in every state where the issue has been put to a popular vote, the right to abortion has been enshrined in state law.
Why should there be exceptions for rape, incest, or deformity? Do the existent conditions surrounding conception determine the dignity or value of a human person? Are those conceived within a loving marriage more human than those put together in a test tube or conceived by force? Does a physical or mental deformity diminish one’s humanity? Are there identifiable “weeds” among us humans that deserve to be destroyed and disposed of? Am I of more value than the child in my women because I’m currently autonomous, while she is not?
Thank you for clarifying women’s choices …. or lack thereof.
Do you have an answer for any of my questions?
Correction: the last question should read “ Am I of more value than the child in my womb because I’m currently autonomous, while she is not?
Calvin Schrage shoud be ousted, but not sure enough conservatives will appear on the scene to take care of that problematuc representative. What say you conservatives?
This article is just strange. Therese continues to demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of the legislative process while advocating for a complete and total ban on abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest. Also, a “golden opportunity”? The guy won his primary by a landslide.
Not unborn Alaskan. They are fetuses. they can’t live on their own.
Newborns can’t live on their own. Nor can babies or toddlers or most humans until they reach an age where they can acquire food, shelter, and the necessities of life by their own power. So when does our humanity begin?
It’s actually kind of disgusting that you keep using terms that don’t exist to try and bolster ypur arguments.
There is no such thing as an ‘unborn Alaskan’. Its a physical and legal impossibility. You scream and holler that men can’t become women, despite the bedrock foundation of your entire religion is to believe the flesh of a man became the very first woman.
No nation on the planet grants citizenship to fetuses that aren’t born. Our State and National Constitution only grant citizenship to children that are BORN within their borders. The legal nightmare of such a thing ever happening would be insane. And to the person above who thinks there should be no exceptions for rape or incest or deformity, you’re just a sick human being. You would sentence babies to live tortured painful lives and to inflict the same on parents, as well as force all the medical risks of death, bankruptcy and infertility on the women. When the alternative is to allow the family to heal and the fetus to go to God and have forever peace.
