Strengthening Constitutional Self-Government

No Left Turns

More Democrats and abortion

This bill strikes me as more worthy of support than the one I discussed here. It focuses almost entirely on supporting pregnancy and promoting adoption, and seems to have a relatively small price tag. Co-Sponsors include Chris Smith, Charlie Melancon, James Clyburn, Harold Ford, and Jim Marshall, among others. And there’s this from the press release:

Organizations who have sent statements in support of the bill include the National Association of Evangelicals, US Conference of Catholic Bishops, Americans United for Life, Democrats for Life of America, National Council on Adoption, Life Education and Resource Network, Redeem the Vote, CARENET, Tony Campolo, founder of the Evangelical Association for the Promotion of Education, Joe Turnham, Chairman, Alabama Democratic Party, U.S. Senate candidate Bob Casey, and actor, Martin Sheen.

If ex-President Bartlet, a thoughtful TV Catholic supports it, what more could one ask?

Great bill, as long as the program is a choice and not mandatory.

If you get right down to it. The choice happens before pregnancy, not afterwards.

The ’choice’ mantra is just a way to smooth the reality of abortion.
