Republican candidates

Donald Trump

Donald Trump'south campaign website says, "The President has kept the promises he fabricated in 2016 to the pro-life customs and has delivered unprecedented victories for the pro-life movement: He took executive activity to terminate taxpayer money from flowing to Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion business concern in the land. He reinstated and expanded the ban on Americans' tax dollars paying for abortions in strange countries. He is standing with the Catholic nuns known every bit the Lilliputian Sisters of the Poor, defending them from Obama-era regulations forcing them to violate their religious beliefs by providing health insurance that covers abortifacients."

Democratic candidates

Joe Biden

Joe Biden'due south campaign website says, "As president, Biden will piece of work to codify Roe v. Wade, and his Justice Department will practice everything in its power to finish the rash of country laws that so blatantly violate the constitutional correct to an abortion, such as then-called TRAP laws, parental notification requirements, mandatory waiting periods, and ultrasound requirements. Biden will reissue guidance specifying that states cannot reject Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood and other providers that refer for abortions or provide related information and reverse the Trump Assistants'south dominion preventing Planned Parenthood and certain other family unit planning programs from obtaining Title 10 funds. Biden will rescind the United mexican states City Policy (also referred to as the global gag dominion) that President Trump reinstated and expanded." [source]

Greenish candidates

Howie Hawkins

Howie Hawkins' campaign website says, "I back up the legal framework established in the Roe v. Wade conclusion. During the first trimester, it is up to the meaning woman to decide whether to become an abortion. During the second trimester laws can but regulate abortion to protect the health of the female parent. During the third trimester, or after fetal viability pursuant to Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), laws can restrict or prohibit abortions except in cases where it was necessary to protect the female parent's health. This framework should be codified into federal law by an act of Congress. I oppose targeted regulation of abortion clinics and providers through laws or policies that get beyond what is necessary to ensure patients' condom. I support laws that allow physicians as well as non-physician health professionals, including physicians' assistants, nurse practitioners, and certified nurse midwives, to perform abortion procedures.
