  • On his exploratory committee website, Lincoln Chafee stated he “strongly support a woman’s right to make her own personal reproductive decisions.”[1]
  • Chafee vetoed a bill allowing a license plate that says “Choose Life” on the grounds the funds received would be used to support a specific religion.[2]
  • In 2006, Chafee voted against S 403 - Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, which would have prohibited the interstate transportation of minors in order to have an abortion unless the minor’s life was in danger.[3]
  • In 2003, Chafee voted against S 3 - Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003, which prohibited partial-birth and later-term abortions in most situations. The bill became law on November 5, 2003.[4]
