Response to a question about Lamar Alexander's view on abortion  asked 
from the audience member at a Lamar event in Portsmouth, 2/17/96

I am going to say to you what I say to everyone on abortion. I am 
prolife. I believe abortion is wrong. I will do more than any president 
has to try and persuade the country to reduce the number of abortions. In 
so far as the Government goes, I will, I believe states have the right to 
restrict abortion and should. I believe the federal government should say 
entirely out of it. It should not encourage nor subsidize nor prohibit 
abortion.
