The race for the top government job in Lexington now includes attention given to the issue of abortion. First at a mayoral forum and then Thursday in a Facebook video, current mayor Linda Gorton said she’ll be voting "no" on constitutional amendment two and urged other voters to do the same. She was asked why she chose to stress her position on what is considered a highly debated and emotional issue.
“Well, I think people want to know where I stand. People have asked me, and I think as mayor it’s important for me to weigh in on an issue that’s very important to our folks in this community,” said Gorton
