Contrary to the belief of Republican congressional candidate Keith Fimian, social issues are important to voters in the 11th Congressional District. He is an extreme ideologue seeking to replace a moderate Republican statesman and represent an increasingly Democratic electorate in the 11th District.
The status of women in American society has skyrocketed in the last 50 years thanks in large part to increased concern for women's health and sovereignty, but his views could well contribute to reversing this progress. Contraception is a vital part of women's empowerment, allowing women to make their own choices about their families and their bodies but Fimian supports a radical conservative group which opposes contraception. His deep-seated and fanatical opposition to abortion rights contrasts to the majority of Americans think who that women should be able to choose whether to have an abortion. His opposition to abortion in all cases, including situations in which the mother's life is at risk, is out of touch with the lives of those he seeks to represent.
