The Reform Party takes NO STANCE as an organization on issues such as pro-life/pro-choice and gay marriage. The Reform Party as a national organization believes that social issues or values issues (which include issues such as abortion,
gay marriage, and end of life decisions) should not be our focus as a party. The Reform Party does not, and will not, have stances on Social or Values Issues in our National Platform.

Support a woman's right to choose, with limitations
Q: Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation?
A: Pro-choice. I support a woman's right to choose within reasonable limitations tied to the stage of pregnancy,
and with exceptions for life-threatening circumstances (to the mother) beyond any stage limitation.

Human life is sacred; encourage adoption
I just saw a debate about whether the federal government should be giving money to Planned Parenthood. I have eight children that were born. I also have four children that were aborted. So naturally I have a special issue on this particular topic.
I'm against the principle of abortion because I think human life is sacred--not for religious reasons, but just humanistic reasons.
I would put the emphasis on encouraging adoption. There are so many people who want to adopt children that if we facilitated that, that could be an alternative to abortion. and second, as a prevention.
I think most unwanted pregnancies are had by young, relatively uneducated women and fathered by relatively uneducated young men.
