Listen to the pregnant woman. Value her. She values the life growing inside her. Listen to the pregnant woman, and you cannot help but defend her right to abortion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I leave abortion to the woman. I just fundamentally end there. I absolutely support a woman's right to choose.
Abortion is defended today as a means of ensuring the equality and independence of women, and as a solution to the problems of single parenting, child abuse, and the feminization of poverty.
There is a huge reservoir of support for abortion rights from ordinary women. I hear all the time from women who had abortions and say it made possible the good life they went on to have. Social shaming silences too many.
The respect and protection of woman and of maternity should be raised to the position of an inalienable social duty and should become one of the principles of human morality.
I am open and will continue to be open to ways to limit abortion. What I am not open to is to removing the right.
I am strongly pro-life, and have fought to protect the rights of the unborn my entire career. I will continue to fight for this cause because I value the sanctity of all human life.
When we choose to have an abortion, we must do so understanding the full ramifications of what we are doing. Anything less feels to me to be hypocritical, a selfish abnegation of reality and responsibility.
I, for one, respect those who believe with all their hearts and conscience that there are no circumstances under which any abortion should ever be available.
Ban partial-birth abortion except to save mother's life.
Pro-lifers believe there are two victims in an abortion: the unborn child and the woman who felt that that was her best option.
