I was thrown into the Parliament right away. From 1976 to 1978 I was concerned with the abortion issue, later on with that of divorce.

I am very much opposed to abortion personally. But I don't think it is the government's rule.

Abortion is a question of choice.

After 'Roe v. Wade' - when the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973 - I thought the national conversation about abortion and birth control would be over. It was not.

I am fairly certain that my abortion position hurt me, because in a Democratic primary, where turnout is relatively low, liberal voters turn out in disproportionately large numbers and thus exercise a disproportionate influence on the outcome.

I can honestly say that my abortion was one of the least difficult decisions of my life. I'm not being flippant when I say it took me longer to decide what worktops to have in the kitchen than whether I was prepared to spend the rest of my life being responsible for a further human being.

For almost twenty years, abortion policy in America has been controlled by the courts.

I should have been an abortion. The only reason I wasn't was that my father was a Christian.

I had three abortions because I was certain that it would be a disaster for my work.
