"Let us see -- while respecting our differences -- whether we can agree on an approach that holds the promise of more effectively discouraging abortions without infringing on the right of every citizen to be free of government intrusiveness," Wilson said. He advocated rigorous enforcement of statutory rape laws and child support laws as keys to ending abortion, as well as education and support for the traditional family.
Wilson was a candidate for the 1996 Republican presidential nomination, but quickly dropped out after he failed to gain support among mainly pro-life conservative groups.
