2026: Balkcom Said, “Abortion Is Never Medically Necessary,” Even “For The Purpose Of Saving The Life Of The Mother”

2026: Balkcom: “Abortion Is Never Medically Necessary: There Is Never A Situation In The Law Or In The Ethical Practice Of Medicine Where A Pre-Born Child’s Life Need Be Destroyed By Intentional Abortion, Including For The Purpose Of Saving The Life Of The Mother.” QUESTION: “Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?” BALKCOM: “Abortion is never medically necessary: there is never a situation in the law or in the ethical practice of medicine where a pre-born child’s life need be destroyed by intentional abortion, including for the purpose of saving the life of the mother. A physician must do everything possible to save the lives of both of his patients, both the mother and the child. I believe that it is important to distinguish between direct, intentional abortion and a legitimate treatment for a medical condition.” [iVoterGuide, Jennifer Balkcom, 2026]

2022: Balkcom: “I Would Support Legislation That Prohibits Intentional Procured Abortion In All Cases.” QUESTION: “If Roe v. Wade is overturned by the US Supreme Court, how far are you willing to go to roll back North Carolina's statutory abortion law that allows abortion up to 20 weeks?” BALKCOM: “I would support legislation that prohibits intentional procured abortion in all cases.” [iVoterGuide, Jennifer Balkcom, 2022]
