Position on Sex Education: Governor Huckabee favors abstinence-only education and opposes abstinence-plus education. (1) He does not believe in teaching "about sex or contraception in public schools," as he says "that is the responsibility of parents." (2)
Position on Abortion: Governor Huckabee said he is “unquestionably solid” in opposing abortion rights.(3) He has said that Roe v. Wade should be overturned but that its reversal would not eliminate abortion. "Some states would have very liberal abortion laws, other states would have very strict abortion laws," he said. Huckabee says that some in the "pro-life community" put "undue focus on the gestation period." (4) He supports passage of a constitutional amendment to declare that fetuses and embryos have rights equal to that of a person and applauds the Supreme Court decision in upholding the Partial Birth Abortion Ban of 2003.” (5)
