"Election 2012, VP Debate: Biden and Ryan Discuss Abortion Views, The New York Times," October 11, 2012.
  • In a 2010 interview with John McCormack of The Weekly Standard, Paul Ryan explained his position on abortion. He said, "I’m as pro-life as a person gets. You’re not going to have a truce. Judges are going to come up. Issues come up, they’re unavoidable, and I’m never going to not vote pro-life."[1]
  • In 2006, Ryan voted for S 403 - the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, which "Amends the federal criminal code to prohibit transporting a minor child across a state line to obtain an abortion (deems such transporting to be a de facto abridgment of the right of a parent under any law in the minor’s state of residence that requires parental involvement in the minor’s abortion decision). Makes an exception for an abortion necessary to safe the life of the minor."[2]
  • In 2003, Ryan voted for S 3 - the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, which prohibited "any physician or other individual from knowingly performing a partial-birth abortion, except when necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, illness, or injury."[3]
