I won't use abortion as a litmus test with a pro-choice individual. Someone that is an activist on the abortion issue, I think, goes outside the pale, and I cannot support an activist on the abortion issue.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do not support abortion rights. Although what I would support in this vexed area is not clear to me.
I don't support abortion. I could never participate in one. But I think it would be a mistake to make them illegal again.
I'm not being outspoken or pro or con abortion.
Pro-lifers believe there are two victims in an abortion: the unborn child and the woman who felt that that was her best option.
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.
I leave abortion to the woman. I just fundamentally end there. I absolutely support a woman's right to choose.
We're always going to argue about abortion. It's a hard choice and it's controversial, and that's why I'm pro-choice, because I want people to make their own choices.
I come to urge my party to be open to debate and discussion; to move away from a lock-step litmus test which advocates abortion on demand in an effort to reach a broader national consensus.
No one is pro-abortion.
Obviously, I have been a pro-choice candidate for my entire political career, and obviously there is controversy always surrounding this issue.
