State Senate 34
1. Abortion: The 1973 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court abortion decision.
Jim Dotson (Republican)
Oppose
Over the last 10 years as a Pro-Life Representative, it has been a privilege to vote for several laws protecting the lives of innocent unborn babies. I consider it a great honor to have helped Arkansas become the most Pro-Life state in the country for the last 2 years, and with your support I look forward to continuing to stand for life in the Arkansas Senate.

I'm not sure how this could be accomplished without taking away the ability of our military service members right to vote and I would not be in favor of that.

8. Nursing Homes: Allowing family members to place a “granny camera” in the room of a nursing home resident for monitoring and visiting purposes.

There would have to be a lot of safeguards in place for this legislation to work and not invade the rights of privacy for the nursing home resident.
