See below what Jill Stein and the 2016 Green Party Platform said about abortion.

CANDIDATE SUMMARY
  • Stein was in favor of legalized abortion.
  • She praised the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down Texas House Bill 2, which required that doctors who perform abortions have hospital admitting privileges at a facility within 30 miles of where an abortion is performed and that abortion facilities meet the same requirements as outpatient surgery centers.
  • Stein called for providing all women with reproductive health care and family planning.

    • Green Party Stein on abortion

    • On June 27, 2016, after the United States Supreme Court struck down two provisions in Texas House Bill 2 that regulated abortion, Jill Stein posted the following tweet: “I applaud #SCOTUS decision to uphold a woman's right to access a safe abortion. A woman's right to choose is a non-negotiable human right.”[2]
    • In response to the 2012 Political Courage Test by VoteSmart, Jill Stein stated, "Real choice must include more than the choice of whether or not to have an abortion, and must begin with an informed choice about preventing unintended pregnancy. By providing all women with reproductive health care and family planning, as part of a program of health care as a human right, we can greatly reduce the need for abortion. Giving women real choices for education opportunities and good paying jobs will also reduce unintended pregnancies. Abortion is a necessary health care option, but will decline as women's choices expand upstream of unwanted pregnancy."[3]
