Expanding eligibility of family planning services to low-income women will maximize cost-savings to both federal and state governments, reduce the disparities in access to family planning services for low-income women, and decrease the incidence of abortion in the U.S. ↗

However much I dislike the idea of abortion, you should not criminalize a woman who, in very difficult circumstances, makes that choice. ↗

In short, I'm not sure that the abortion problem can be solved by legislation. I think it can only be solved through moral persuasion. ↗

I don't believe that Jesus would approve abortion except in the case of incest, rape or the mother's life in danger. But I had to enforce the Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade so I tried to do everything I could to minimize the need for abortions. ↗

When I was president, I announced and I still maintain that I can live with Roe v. Wade. I did everything I possibly could as president under that ruling, which I don't think ought to be changed, to minimize the need for abortions. I think every abortion is a result of a horrible series of errors on the part of people involved. ↗

I don't support abortion. I could never participate in one. But I think it would be a mistake to make them illegal again. ↗
