I just re-read it. It looks like it saying that they will not support abortion except in instances where the mother's life is in danger, or there is no chance of life with the baby. It looks like they also say that they don't like abortion as birth control, and that they refuse to accept abortion as a means of getting a child of the desired gender.
I pretty much agree with that.
