Sam's Club Republican, by J. A. McClure: on Abortion


Tim Pawlenty: 1991: favored parental notification & informed consent

[A 1991 article described Pawlenty as] an atypical Republican because he was concerned about poverty but "the abortion issue wasn't a big deal to him."

Though social issues were generally avoided in his campaign, he was asked whether he favored "any additional restrictions on women's right to abortion." He said he supported parental notification requirements for abortions performed on minors, and also informed consent procedures, "which involves an explanation of risks and possible alternatives."

Tim Pawlenty: Prohibit partial-birth abortion; require 24-hour wait

Pawlenty is pro-life and supports several restrictions on abortion. While in the Minnesota House in 1998, Pawlenty requested the bill prohibit partial-birth abortions and expand reporting requirements for doctors. In the 2000 legislative session, Pawlenty voted in favor of a bill requiring a 24-hour waiting period for women seeking abortions.
