Former US President Jimmy Carter will not stand up for abortion because it is in "conflict" with his Christian faith.
"I have never believed that Jesus would be in favour of abortion, unless it was the result of rape or incest, or the mother's life was in danger. That's been the only conflict I've had in my career between political duties and Christian faith," Carter recently told The New York Times.
As for gay marriage, Carter said Jesus Christ never said anything against it in the Bible.
