Slightly agree

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

Johnson was a proponent of social services and education, as evidenced by his 'Great Society' programs. While his views on abortion are not explicitly recorded, it's plausible he would have supported measures to reduce the number of abortions through education and social services.

Neutral

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

Johnson's views on abortion are not well-documented, and while he was a proponent of civil liberties, it's unclear how strongly he would have agreed with the idea that the government has no right to ban abortion.

Slightly disagree

Pro-choice

Johnson's stance on abortion is not well-documented, but his progressive social policies suggest he might have been more supportive of a woman's right to choose. However, during his presidency, abortion was still largely illegal and not a major political issue.

Slightly disagree

Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months

Johnson's stance on abortion is not well-documented, but his progressive social policies suggest he might have been more supportive of a woman's right to choose. However, the idea of banning abortion after the first three months is specific and there's no historical evidence to suggest he would have supported this.

Disagree

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

While Johnson's views on abortion are not explicitly recorded, his progressive social policies suggest he might have been more lenient towards exceptions in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child. However, this is speculative as abortion was not a major political issue during his presidency.

Disagree

Pro-life

Lyndon B. Johnson's stance on abortion is not well-documented, but he was a Democrat who often supported progressive social policies. However, during his presidency, abortion was still largely illegal and not a major political issue, so it's unlikely he was strongly pro-life.

Strongly disagree

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

Johnson's stance on abortion is not well-documented, but his progressive social policies suggest he would not have been strongly pro-life, especially in cases of rape and incest. However, this is speculative as abortion was not a major political issue during his presidency.
