Hill, Walters vie for Senate seat
Incumbent and challenger
offer voters distinct choice
By John Clarke Jr
Eme»ak5 Contributor
Democratic incumbent l-irr\ Hill and Republi
can challenger Ralf Walters find themselves dif
fering on just about every politic a! issue in Ore
gon
In their bid for Senate District 21. which en
compasses southeast Eugene, the University arise
and all of Springfield, the two find themselves in
sharp contrast with each other
Hill, a one-term senator who previously spent
four years in the House, said he focuses mainly
on what he believes voters are most interested in:
property tax and public si bool funding Hut Wal
ters. a strong proponent of ballot Measures 8 and
10, said his "number one issue" is abortion — a
i lear example of the wide rift lietween the two
i undidates
Measures 8 would prohibit abortions except in
cases of rape, incest or to protect the life of the
mother, and Measure 10 would mandate parental
notification before an abortion could lie per
formed on a minor
Walters, a Springfield resident new to state pol
itics. said that lie wants to be viewed as a "pro
family. respect-for-life candidate
"It's hypoc ritical to stand Ix-hind issues on the
environment like the spotted owl. drift net fish
ing. saving the the whales or the diminishing
forests of Oregon and not see that alxirtion is a
form of murder, and that the unborn child as |ust
as important as any other environmental issue."
Walters said We need to respect life on all lew -
els.
“Alxirtion is not onh bad for women, but it
also drains valuable tax dollars that go to soc lal
serx ice. ” Walters said Oregon's t.ix dollars could
lx- put to a more useful cause, lie said, listing
funding for research to create more effective
forms ol birth control as a alternative
"The solution does not only lie in the argu
ment between the right-to life and pro-lifer." he
said "That just avoids the real problem We do
not need this argument We need a solution, and
! believe the root of the problem is birth control
Hut Hill is quick to disagree "I ill for the wom
an's rights," he said, adding that hi- is opposed
to the two abortion limiting measures on the Nov
0 ballot
