** Given how self-interested and venal Selina can be, how few strong ideals she possesses and how quickly she is demonstrated to be willing to sell out what ideals she does possess for personal and political advantage, I wouldn't be hugely surprised if whatever voting record on abortion she has flip-flops across both sides of the debate depending on which position best serves her interests at any given moment. So it might not necessarily clearly indicate her actual views.

** Also, RuleOfFunny. Abortion is one of the most divisive issues facing the United States, with massive entrenched polarisation on both sides of the debate. So it's kind of a joke on how wishy-washy / hypocritical Selina can be that she's managed to make it through a twenty-plus year political career without anyone actually managing to nail down what she thinks about the issue.

** Since Selina didn't become president again, probably a joke (though there may have been a bit of SequelHook if the writers wanted to give themselves an opening to bring Selina back to the Presidency). Most particularly, probably a reference to the 2000 election and all the issues around "missing chads".

* Why does Selina need to decide if she's pro-life or pro-choice? She's been the Democratic senator from Maryland for twenty years, so presumably she has a voting record on abortion to go back to. Why is there even a conversation about it?
