In short, our response as a party should be to work to solve the crises that produce crisis pregnancies, and work to make life worth living for mother and child, rather than victimize the child as a way of dealing with the crisis.
However, we might oppose it, abortion is a sad feature of modern life.
The abortion issue has intersected with my public life from the very beginning.
Abortion on demand has, in my judgment, contributed significantly to an environment in our country in which life has become very cheap.
My strong personal view, which I believe is shared by millions of Americans, is that our party should make a strong statement in its platform that the unborn child has a fundamental right to life which should be protected.
