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

On the other hand, he's not too big of a step down from Reid. Heck, he and Reid might be a matched pair.
I didn't even realize Jimma had a son. I only remember Amy and the SNL skit.
"Daddy, daddy, the bombs are falling, the bombs are falling."
Truman: "Find me an economist with only one hand!"
Love to hear Jimmah Jr's thoughts on the 2nd Amend. ("On one hand, I'm all for it; on the other, guns are bad, very bad.")
Stupid, son of stupid.
Sounds like ethical coherence problems run in the family.
Yes, I know it's difficult for people to accept- a woman is raped- and carries the rapist's child- not something most people can stomach. But I always remember that rape carries the death penalty in the Bible, so in a perfect world one would counter the other. Instead of a guy getting out in 2 years, he'd just be dead, and people would think twice before going out a raping.
"Ask them what other crime do they believe an innocent victim of the crime should be executed."

Well, in a Muslim country, the innocent victim of a rape is the one executed.
I did answer your question, I am pro-life in almost all instances. Yes I believe a woman who has an abortion is a murderer, one no better than an Andrea Yates or Susan Smith.
I'd have no problems with sentencing woman who kill their children to prison, for life, without the possibility of parole.
Let's have a bit of intellectual honesty in the abortion discussion. A baby who is the product of rape is no less innocent than the woman who was raped. We would never execute a woman for being raped in this country and we shouldn't execute the baby who is as much of a victim.
A woman who has an abortion because a baby is inconvenient, will affect her ability to progress in employment, will have an adverse effect on their bodies or whatever other excuss woman have for an abortion are doing nothing less but committing murder.
You know, when a woman has a baby in the hospital, you need a doctor there to make sure things go smoothly. She could have the baby by herself- woman have been doing that since the beginning, but in case something goes wrong...
Or the flight crew in a jet- the planes these days can pretty much fly and land themselves,but you have the crew there to look after any catastrophes/errors.
Now, with the President it's no different. I can get up in the morning- go to work- come home-- don't need a President or government for that matter but someday- and sooner rather than later, probably at night-- we're going to get hit. And we'll have secondss to respond. I was taught in school that it would take 8 minutes for an ICBM to get from RUssia to the U.S., but these days with subs- one can be off the coast and hit us in under a minute.
So a President is roused from sleep, and has less than a minute to take control. What would this guy do in that situation- or 99% of dems for that matter? That's why we have a President. Just in case.
How well do you think someone running for office on THAT platform would do? :)
Well, in a Muslim country, the innocent victim of a rape is the one executed.
I don't want to live under Sharia law anymore then I want to excuse the murder of the innocent victim of a crime, as those in Muslims countries do.
About as much chance as a snowball in hell!!!
I'm all for "KILLER RABBITS".Just as long as they dont hurt anyone!
Whic means, I am against murder personally, but believe that others should have the choice to murder if they wish.
More like a splinter.
Nuts serve a valid purpose in nature. The Carter nut has no useful function in the political garden.
Carter's son and Reid's son make a lovely couple. Both are in politics on daddy's connections. All four are complete as**s.
This jerk is a great case for mandatory abortion.
