There’s an old adage in the Pagan community that says if you invite ten Wiccans to an event, you’ll get fifteen different opinions. That’s not too far from the truth. Wiccans and Pagans are people just like everyone else, and so each will have a different perspective on current events.
There’s no Wiccan Manual that says you must be liberal/conservative/whatever now that you’ve discovered a new spiritual path. That having been said, most Pagans and Wiccans believe in personal responsibility, and that viewpoint extends even to controversial political issues.
While many people may define themselves as either pro-choice or anti-abortion, you’ll often find that Pagans and Wiccans throw some qualifiers into the argument. One might say they feel abortion is an acceptable decision in some cases but not in others. Another might tell you that it’s up to a woman to choose what to do with her own body, and not anyone else’s business.
There are Pagans and Wiccans out there who are strongly opposed to abortion, and those who are vocally in favor of a woman’s right to choose. Even among Pagans who believe abortion is wrong, there is often a reluctance to condone government interference in a woman’s reproductive system. Ultimately, you’ll find that the prevailing attitude among Wiccans and Pagans involves taking responsibility for one’s own sexual behavior, birth control, and any possible results of sexual activity.
