We are adamantly against abortion and our administration would do everything it could to help make it illegal. In tandem, we would work exhaustively to help reverse poverty, family dysfunction, relaxed sexual mores and any other precipitating factors leading to abortion. (We also espouse a “Consistent Life Ethic” that sets us against embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia, the death penalty, poverty, pollution, nuclear proliferation… and anything else that can end life prematurely.)

In our travels, we have stood in solidarity with groups protesting (and praying) on the streets against abortion in Fargo, North Dakota; Ocala, Florida; Marquette, Michigan; Las Cruces, New Mexico; Cleveland, Ohio; Bakersfield, California… And I told the Lewistown News-Argus newspaper in Lewistown , Montana , that as president – I'd be doing the same.

And as we've traveled, we have also looked for creative local safety nets for women in crisis pregnancy, I told the Range News in Arizona . And as we've found them, we've tried to inspire them elsewhere.

In Hibbings, Minnesota, Patty Jacobson told us the “ Pregnancy Life Care Center ” there provides free sonograms, legal advocacy, medical help, counseling (for both mom and dad), chastity training…

Just before Election 2004, our Sarah, then eight-years-old, told a reporter from ABC News in Dayton , Ohio , that having an abortion should not be a “choice” in America . She's right.
