Our official position is neutral. RLC members hold both pro-life and pro-choice views on the issue, as well as those who are “in between.” The RLC, like other libertarian-leaning advocacy groups, opposes all federal funding for abortions.
Abortion is a critical life and death choice for every pregnant woman. Whether government should intervene to influence that choice is dependent on the legal status of the fetus. We acknowledge that there can be honest and ethical differences of opinion on that status, the rights of the woman, and the proper role of government.
We favor civil discussion of this question, but take no position on the merits of conflicting legal, ethical, and religious viewpoints on either side.
We oppose any allocation of government funds or resources to facilitate abortions, advocate in the public discussion, or to jeopardize the right of any woman to defend her own life and health.
We support a resolution of this issue through the proper judicial and legislative channels specified in the Constitution.
