D’Angelo’s conservative attitudes

An interesting bit of information on Democratic candidate Wayne D’Angelo, via Politics NJ and the national Project Vote Smart organization:

Democrat Wayne D’Angelo is pro-life, supports the death penalty, and opposes Governor Jon Corzine’s plan to lease the New Jersey Turnpike, according to an issue survey D’Angelo submitted to the non-partisan Project Vote Smart.

According to the survey, D’Angelo says Abortion should be legal only when pregnancy results from incest or rape, or when the life of the woman is endangered, and he supports requiring clinics to give parental notification before performing abortion on minors.

He also supports voluntary prayer in public schools, and says he is undecided on New Jersey recognizing gay marriage or if he would support a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman — but he did say the state should continue to recognize civil unions between same-sex couples. He took no positions on gun control issues, other than say that gun owners should be licensed.
