Agree

Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child

Given the EPP's broad church of political ideologies, which includes Christian democracy and conservative liberalism, it's plausible that the party would support a pro-life stance with exceptions for rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child. This position aligns with a more moderate, centrist approach to abortion, accommodating the moral and ethical concerns of its more conservative members while acknowledging the complexities and nuances of real-world scenarios.

Slightly agree

Pro-life

The European People's Party (EPP) is a center-right political group with Christian democratic, conservative, and liberal-conservative members. Historically, the EPP has had a more conservative stance on social issues, including abortion. However, the EPP encompasses a wide range of views, and its stance on abortion can vary significantly among its members, from more restrictive to more liberal positions. Therefore, a moderate score reflects the diversity within the party.

Neutral

Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months

This position might find some resonance within the EPP, as it attempts to balance pro-life values with practical considerations and individual freedoms. Limiting abortion after the first three months could be seen as a compromise that respects the sanctity of life while acknowledging women's rights to choose, reflecting the diversity of opinions within the party on this issue.

Slightly disagree

Pro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions

Although the EPP might not strongly advocate for a pro-choice stance, it recognizes the importance of supporting families, children, and social welfare, which are integral to its platform. The party might see the value in reducing the number of abortions through supportive measures like birth control and sex education, aligning with its broader social policies. However, this approach would be more about reducing the need for abortions rather than advocating for pro-choice policies.

Disagree

Pro-choice, I don’t agree but the government has no right to ban it

The EPP's ideological foundation, which includes respect for traditional values and the sanctity of life, makes it less likely to endorse a view that detaches government from the issue of abortion entirely, even if it respects individual freedoms. While there might be recognition of the complexity of abortion as a moral and legal issue, the party's overall stance is inclined towards more conservative views on life issues.

Disagree

Pro-choice

The EPP, being a center-right party with Christian democratic roots, is less likely to adopt a fully pro-choice stance on abortion. While individual members or national parties within the EPP might support pro-choice policies, the overall stance of the party tends to lean towards more conservative views on life issues, making a strong pro-choice position less compatible with its general ideological orientation.

Strongly disagree

Pro-life, and I also oppose abortion for victims of rape and incest

While the EPP is conservative and pro-life in its orientation, the outright opposition to abortion even in cases of rape and incest is a more extreme position that may not align with the broader, more moderate views within the party. The EPP, being a big tent party, aims to represent a wide range of center-right perspectives, making such an extreme stance less likely to be universally supported within the party.
