Abortion: Where does Bill Bryant stand on issue?

I have been a Republican activist since the 1950s and am a pro-life Christian. Over the last several weeks I have left messages with the “ Bill Bryant for Governor” campaign in Tacoma as well as e-mails and even a call to the state Republican headquarters. I have asked if the candidate is pro-life and whether he will support making abortion illegal.

It seems that Bryant, his campaign and the state party are not willing to respond with an answer to my question. In lieu of an orchestrated non-response to my question and no declaration made public that he is pro-life, I and hundreds of thousands of pro-life Christians in Washington state will pass the word, and once again as a large voting bloc will not vote for the Republican candidate for governor.
