On Abortion: Supports abortion right, but also abstinence & contraceptio

Pederson released a new ad that accused Senator Kyl of opposing abortion even in cases of rape or incest. Pederson supports a women’s right to have an abortion, and he said he approves of education programs about abstinence and contraception for school children. But the Democrat said he opposes late-term abortions “with the exception of the life or health of the mother.” Source: Chris Kahn, Associated Press, on AOL News Oct 10, 2006
