George Bush Sr. on Abortion

President of the U.S., 1989-1993; Former Republican Rep. (TX)

Pro-life; against advocating abortion in any form

If there was an issue in the campaign that was clear, it was the abortion question. My opponent strongly supported the “choice” position, and I strongly supported the “life” position. I am not “imposing” my views, because I clearly stated them in running for office, and I am not about to change.

I strongly support family planning and have always favored disseminating information on birth control. I do not favor advocating abortion in any way, shape, or form.
