• He strongly agrees that it will surely benefit America if the Roe v. Wade is repealed.

• Michael opposes embryonic stem cell research as he believes that it is not really right to give a life to end one.

• He once stated that "I would support and be willing to lead a Human Life amendment to the constitution."

• Michael Huckabee supports defunding of planned parenthood.

• He agreed to sign an anticipated legislation to forbid all abortion apart from any danger the mother's life may be in. He believes that life is a gift from God and we have no right to end it.

• He strongly stands for the elimination of public funding for abortion organizations which support or conduct abortions.

• He declared that "I am pro-life but I know not everyone agrees with me on the topic and I respect that. But in this day in which we talk about choice and the importance of it, surely we can agree that if under the Supreme Court choice is mandated, that choice should be as educated a choice as is humanly possible."
