While Montgomery is known as more moderate on some social issues, she has challenged many liberal positions, most notably in her bid to end what she termed "inexcusable" legal delays in Ohio's system of capital punishment.

Famous quotes containing the word views:
“The universe is wider than our views of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Taught from their infancy that beauty is woman’s sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and, roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison. Men have various employments and pursuits which engage their attention, and give a character to the opening mind; but women, confined to one, and having their thoughts constantly directed to the most insignificant part of themselves, seldom extend their views beyond the triumph of the hour.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
“Your views are now my own.”
—Marvin Cohen, U.S. author and humorist.
