Jimmy Who?, by Leslie Wheeler: on Abortion


Discourage abortion by providing family planning

Carter believes that abortion is wrong and that the government should try to discourage it by providing better sex education, family planning, and adoption procedures. However, he does not favor a constitutional amendment that would overturn the Supreme Court ruling permitting abortions.
