  • Deb Morrow. Facebook: Wall Post Comment. 17 February 2012."Instead of focusing on how to improve behavior of others whose lifestyles you find unseemly, think how the current national agenda can affect you personally. Do you want your wife denied a life-saving procedure because it's against the conscience of a hospital employee? Do you want your daughter told to hold an aspirin between her knees to handle family planning? For years, Democrats have warned about infringement on women's rights, while Republicans reduce it to one emotional and false claim, that we supposedly favor abortions." (www.facebook.com)

  • Deb Morrow. 25 June 2012. "THEIR moral code, e.g. if a woman is bleeding to death and the only way to save her is to abort her pregnancy. [¦] 'Religious freedom' somehow trumps the Hippocratic Oath?" (www.debforcongress.org)

  • Deb Morrow. Video: Deb Morrow- Abortion Question. 21 February 2012.

  • Deb Morrow. Facebook: Timeline. 10 October 2012. "Repubs say we're broke because of social programs, & teachers, factory workers earning too much. Meanwhile we're hemorrhaging money (as well as blood) into war while they pledge no new taxes, tax CUTS for the wealthiest, tell ordinary citizens to lower our standard of living, & prepare to voucher-ize, privatize & cut care our veterans & seniors have EARNED. Wrong for them & wrong for all of us." (www.facebook.com)
  • Deb Morrow. Facebook: Wall. 3 August 2012. "Instead, I would push policies that reduces income inequality by putting more funding into higher education, fixing our crumbling roads and bridges, and making the wealthy pay their fair share of the tax burden." (www.facebook.com)

(www.youtube.com)
  • Deb Marrow. Facebook: Timeline. 7 September 2012. "I agree with Republicans. The Jobs Report that came out on Friday was terrible. But Republicans also blocked the American Jobs Act, a bill that would create over a million jobs and would have lowered our unemployment rate. It's time for Trey Gowdy to start passing real jobs bills for our district instead of obstructing the President for political gain." (www.facebook.com)

I respect the beauty of our earth, the pristine rivers and streams, the majestic mountains, and the bountiful oceans, and will work to protect and preserve them for those who follow us. I believe that by addressing climate change we can benefit in ways unknown. By furthering research and development in clean, renewable energy, and updating the energy grid, new manufacturing jobs will come. I will work to protect and preserve the National Forest System. I will stand for the Roadless Area Conservation Act, which prohibits road construction and logging in portions of the National Forests that are unspoiled." (votesmart.org)

  • Deb Morrow. Facebook: Wall. 1 August 2012. "I support the President's recent decision not to deport 800,000 students. But it's still not enough. If I am elected to serve in Washington, I will vote in favor of the DREAM Act, which grants conditional permanent residency status to children brought here illegally by their parents. It gives immigrants, especially Hispanic students, a chance to go to college and become strong contributors to our society. And most importantly for the tax-payer, the DREAM Act saves us money."
