Doing more research. Gore said this in 1987
* In a May 26, 1987 letter to a constituent he wrote: "During my 11 years in congress, I have consistently opposed federal funding for abortions. In my opinion, it is wrong to spend federal funds for what is arguably taking of a human life. Let me assure you that I share your belief that innocent human life must be protected, and I am committed to furthering this goal."

In 1988, however, he denied a strong 1984 pro-life vote. Seems like Gore's record was strongly pro-life until 1988. He started to go weak around that time. She voted for him in the primary. He had an overwhelming voting record of being pro-life to that point. But then he decided to run for President in 1988. At that point, the following happened: "By 1988, Gore had caught the political pragmatism virus. As a presidential candidate that year, Gore brazenly denied casting such a vote and claimed in his new incarnation as a pro-choice politician: "I have not changed .... I have always been against anything that would take away a woman's right to have an abortion.'' "http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/thomas020100.asp

If she voted in the primary but not the General Election, we are okay. If she stayed with him after that point, that is troubling.
