Where the presidential candidates stand on the issues
ABORTION and BIRTH CONTROL
Obama: Supports access to abortion. Health care law requires contraceptives to be available for free for women enrolled in workplace health plans.
Romney: Opposes access to abortion. Previously supported that. Says state law should guide abortion rights, and Roe v. Wade should be reversed by a future Supreme Court ruling. Said he would end federal aid to Planned Parenthood.
