Not abortion.


"Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old," he said. "I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn't make sense to not give them information."


The "mistake" being his daughters having sex before marriage, which is not a surprising stance given his religion. The "punishment" being that they would either get pregnant or catch an STD if they didn't protect themselves, therefore he is an advocate of sex education including education about contraceptives and he is against abstinence only education. (Which is what he meant by "information").

It's called "context".
