I frankly don't care if you agree with my stand on abortion. I take that stand because no other stand is consistent with decent principles, and no other standard is consistent with the will of God.

The reality of abortion isn't political at all. Women don't come in here and say, 'I want to exercise my constitutional right.' It's a personal, emotional decision. Most women express relief, but some talk about sadness and loss.

It isn't a free speech issue; it's a matter of public decency.

Why am I here? It's because I'm the sentimental favorite,

I don't think that has to be our choice... This party was born in principle. This party will die if it doesn't stand by its decision of principle.
