  1. Henry Cuellar:

    As a lifelong Catholic, I have always been pro-life. As a Catholic, I do not support abortion, however, we can not have an outright ban. There must be exceptions in the case of rape, incest and danger to the life of the mother, additionally, my faith does not allow me to support extreme positions such as late term or partial birth abortions. My faith is clear : abortion must be rare safe.
