From campaign 1996, when Martini lost to Pascrell.
Abortion House: Would you have voted for the bill to ban so-called partial-birth abortions, in which the doctor removes the fetus' brain tissue after bringing the fetus into the birth canal? Under the bill, doctors who perform the procedure could be subject to criminal and civil penalties. [H: HR1833. Passed, H vote: 288-139] Senate: Would you have voted for the amendment to a bill prescribing criminal and civil penalties for doctors who perform so-called partial-birth abortions? The amendment would have provided legal protections for doctors who used the procedure to protect the life or health of the pregnant woman. [S: Amendment to HR1833. Rejected, S vote: 47-51] here
Martini- YES, Pascrell- NO

Thanks, this question deals with partial birth abortion, the most extreme. Martini is pro choice with the issue of abortion.

From your link:

"Locked in one of the closest races in New Jersey, Martini has credentials that may invite crossover votes. He is endorsed by the Sierra Club for his environmental record--he led an effort to prevent development of the 17,500-acre Sterling Forest-- is pro-choice and voted to raise the minimum wage. Still, Martini won his freshman election by only 1%, and his popularity hasn't been tested against a challenger as well known as Pascrell"

Choice = abortion in my book.

Great fiscal conservative republican--He voted for an increase for the minimun wage too. If I didn't know him and read this paragraph I would have bet he was a Democrat.
