Meg Whitman's Extreme Pro-Abortion Views
Publius Forum ^ | 10/16/09 | Warner Todd Huston

A few weeks ago Jon Fleischman of FlashReport.org was fortunate enough to snag an interview with gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman. But the results of one segment of the meeting left him admittedly non-plussed, or as he termed it "unnerved." Fleischman was aghast to learn of just how extreme Meg Whitman's views on abortion really are. And after reading Fleischman's interview myself, I have to wonder if her views makes her completely unelectable amongst California's pro-lifers?

In the interview, Whitman was completely upfront about the fact that she stands solidly behind public funding of abortion. She was unequivocal about it, really. Whitman explained why she felt that public funding of abortion was the right decision telling Fleischman, "My view is that if we are going to be pro-choice... that it needs to be available to all women, and whether you are rich or poor, you need to be able to access that right. And it's unfair to women who can not afford an abortion, and that's why I support public funding."

It's one thing to say that a woman should be allowed to chose abortion -- this is quite a common determination among liberals -- but quite another, indeed, to say that the taxpayers should have to pay for that abortion...

Why do idiots like Whitman think that if baby killing is a "right," that government is obligated to pay for it?

For what other "rights" does government pay?

Does government pay to buy me a printing press or an Internet server so I can personally exercise freedom of the press?

Does government pay to buy me a gun so I can exercise my RKBA?

No, of course not. It's only the baby killing "right" that has to be subsidized by forcibly taking money from tax payers who regard it as state-subsidized murder.

Whitman can go to h-ll.

I will never vote for her. I’ll write in my own name if I have to.
