To Life - Lifespan Candidates' Positions on Abortion Three days a week, The Associated Press picks an issue and asks all the presidential candidates a question about it. We must protect that privacy and keep abortion safe and legal. The only change I would support is eliminating restrictions on the use of family planning assistance to developing countries. Abortion must remain legal and safe - and increasingly rare. I support the Freedom of Choice Act, which would codify the Roe v. Wade decision into federal law so that states could not limit or chip away rights provided by the decision.
Abortion is a moral wrong and a national tragedy.
The most pressing change that needs to be made is to elect a pro-life president with a plan of action to put abortion on the road to extinction. I'm pro-life and committed to working to move the life issue forward. On my first day in office, I will sign a ban on partial-birth abortion. From there the Forbes administration will move legislatively to pass a Human Life Amendment. Roe v. Wade should be overturned and abortion should be illegal except in cases of rape, incest and when the life of the mother is in danger.
