Read and decide for your self. She sees Roe v Wade as enshrining privacy in the constitution. She does however view it as a states rights issue. She does think that abortion could be allowed in certain instances such as rape or life of mother. She would not act to unilaterally ban anything regarding abortion but each state should decide what is best for itself. She is personally pro-life and has set an example of such but is very pro personal liberty and conscience. Her positions are classically states’ rights and personal liberty centered and not federally centrist centered...which is a GOOD thing!
Pailin lives out of the freedom of her conscience and grace and not by party. She can only set a moral example but understands that there are limits to the legislating of morality. I don’t think she would actively adapt an agenda encouraging abortions but I don’t see her acting aggressively against them...though if congess were to send her pro-life legislation I could see her signing it presuming it doesn’t intefere with personal liberties.
As for welfare and health reforms...I see her acting rationally on those issues....but don’t expect her to throw grandma onto the street. Her faith won’t let her!
No. She is against abortion in cases of rape.
Please also read her interview with Katie Couric on this issue.

First you criticized her supposed "pro-choice" stance, and now you applaud it as constitutionally wise?
