Miers on Abortion in 1989: "Ban it." - Miers on Roe v. Wade in 2005: "I'm not saying."

The AP has a story on how Miers answered a prolife questionnaire in 1989 from Texans United for Life.

"Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers pledged support in 1989 for a constitutional amendment banning abortions except when necessary to save the life of the mother, according to material given to the Senate on Tuesday."


She also answered positively to other prolife questions.

Her views on Roe v. Wade in the present, however, have not been discussed.

'Senators say Miers has insisted that she has not given anyone any assurances that she would overturn Roe v. Wade if given the chance.

"She said nobody knows my views on Roe v. Wade. Nobody can speak for me on Roe v. Wade," said Sen. Charles Schumer'
