Fiorina is anti-abortion. She expressed support for legislation to ban abortions 20 weeks after fertilization, with an exception for cases of rape, incest, or danger to the life of the mother. In 2010, she said that "Roe v. Wade" was settled law, but later reversed that position. Fiorina supports overturning "Roe v. Wade", the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion in the United States, leaving it to the states. She does support embryonic stem-cell research if the embryos were not created for that purpose.
