LAS VEGAS, February 20, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Jack Carter, 58, the eldest son of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has announced he is seeking the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate to represent Nevada. At his launch, Carter spoke with reporters revealing his schizophrenic stand on abortion - a stand similar to that of his father.

Speaking with the Associated Press' Kathleen Hennessey, Carter described his abortion views saying, ""I'm a personal freedoms person. I don't want the government to come in and tell my child or whoever it is that they can't have an abortion. I'm pro-choice as far as a woman choosing, but I'm against abortion."

Stephen F. Hayward, PhD., wrote a 2004 book on Jimmy Carter noting the former President's political exploitation of abortion. In an interview with National Review, Hayward recalled

I expect great things from this guy soon. He's willing to make the difficult choices- sort of, and do what needs to be done- but it depends. And besides- isn't his dad the smartest woman in Washington? Oh, sorry, that's Gore.

Why get in to politics? His family has made 100's of millions with their Carter Center and whatnot. Why work?

Wait a minute, I thought about the questions above and I think I answered my own question. Nevermind....

Like father, like son. He, too, is a tower of jello, just like his old man. Geez.

Actually, this is my wacky MIL's view, too. Many years ago when she was going to have her tubes tied, she had to get her husband's permission. Apparently, she still feels insulted by that and thus, her support of a woman's "choice." For some reason, she can't seem to fathom that a human life hangs in the balance. Like I said, wacky.

I don't know if I would call it a "schizophrenic stand".

There are many conservatives I know who believe abortion in the case of rape or incest is okay. It is either a person or it isn't. The brain and heart start shortly after month 1, making all normal abortions killing "brain alive" person. In self defense, perhaps, but otherwise???

Well, no confusion there.
I'd vote for him but common sense doesn't allow it.

He's also probably for capital punishment as long as it doesn't kill the criminal.

You can't take a stand if you don't have a leg to stand on.

Jimmy is unaware that the baby that he sees in the delivery room actually was carried by a woman.

"Confused" is not the term, either...

Ignorant sonuvabastard is the accurate description...

Looks like Junior is doing his best to make his old man look like a statesman and a brain surgeon.
