Statement on the Supreme Court Decision on Abortion

June 29, 1992
    I am pleased with the Supreme Court's decision upholding most of 
Pennsylvania's reasonable restrictions on abortion, such as the 
requirement that a teenager seek her parent's consent before obtaining 
an abortion. The Pennsylvania law supports family values in what is 
perhaps the most difficult question a family can confront.
    My own position on abortion is well-known and remains unchanged. I 
oppose abortion in all cases except rape or incest or where the life of 
the mother is at stake.
