A man carrying a red Bible to the microphone asked, How could Patrick support gay marriage and abortion rights if God doesn't? Patrick treaded carefully. He said he believes decisions on abortion should be made by women, and not by the government, and
that the law should regard everyone as equals, regardless of their sexual orientation. Patrick added that people are far less concerned about gay marriage and abortion than about paying their rent and heating bills.
