On March 3, 2018, Nonini reportedly nodded when asked at a candidates forum if the punishment for getting an abortion should include the death penalty. However, he has denied ever having nodded in agreement. "Prosecutions have always been focused on the abortionist," he said later, but such a law and "...the threat of prosecution, would dramatically reduce abortion. That is my goal."
