Bernie's Pro-Choice commitment extends beyond choice

From his book Outsider in the House (1997)



The Rutland Herald ran a detailed article contrasting my views on abortion with my opponent Susan Sweetser. My position is that a woman's decision whether to have an abortion is a private one, and that this principle must hold true for all women, regardless of income. Sweetster describes herself as pro-choice. On the surface, our positions appear similar. But there is one significant difference. She supports a woman's right to an abortion, but only if that woman can afford to pay for one.
