WASHINGTON — When it comes to abortion, George Bush and Michael Dukakis agree on one thing; neither man personally favors the controversial procedure to terminate pregnancies.
Parties clash on abortion
The Associated Press
But beyond their personal feelings, the Republican and Democratic preside nominates have staked out opposite stands on whether abortion should be allowed or whether the government should pay for the operation for poor women.
Bush favors a constitutional amendment to overturn the 1973 Supreme Court decision, Roe vs. Walker, which granted abortions (outlawing all abortions except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother). He opposes Medicaid funding of abortions for poor women except to save the woman's life.
Platforms differ despite Bush and Dukakis' similar opinions
Dukakis, as a legislator and governor of Massachusetts, has been a resolute supporter of women's legal right to choose abortion, as well as government-funding of the operation for the poor.
Before becoming Ronald Reagan's
running mate in 1980. Bush opposed a constitutional amendment to overhaul the military's support federal funding of abortions in cases of rape or incest, as well as the death penalty.
He pointed to Dukakis' sponsoring of a bill in 1970 to legalize abortion in Massachusetts, and later, as governor of Louisiana, he set restrictions on abortion funding.
Dakikis has been called "a pro-bortion activist" by J. B. Cillen and the Committee. The group's legislative director, Douglas Johnson, said, "Dakikis says he's personally opposed, but he wants to subsidize it."
Facing a stident anti-abortion protest in a Chicago suburb Tuesday, Dukakis said, "While I don't favor abortion or think it is a good thing. I happen to think that in the last analysis it's up to the woman, in the exercise of her own conscience and belief, to make that decision."
Bush, in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, said, "Is it right to believe in the

sanctity of life and protect the lives of innocent children? My opponent says no — but I say yes. . . we've got from change to adoption.
The GOP platform contains anti-abortion language in several sections, including a plank that would make the fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infirred*. It endorses both a human life amendment and legislation to extend the protection's protections to the unborn.
Kate Michelle, executive director of the National Abortion Rights Action League, said, "There is a stark, stark difference between the two candidates" and between the two parties' platforms on abortion.
Activists on both sides agree the next president is likely to make several appointments to the Superintendent and bring her the tribunal on abortion.
