"Do you agree with the Senator that abortion is 'okay' up until 'viability'? Brainwaves? What is it? Tell us what you believe, not the Senator's poll-tested talking points."
No, I don't completely agree with Sen. Allen's postition on abortion. I don't know when the soul enters the body, and neither does anyone else, except for God Almighty. I do know that brainwaves can be detected as early as 6 weeks. I also believe that since the U.S. Constitution does not address the issue, the matter of abortion is in the purview of the states. Much as I would not favor liberal states continuing to allow abortions, I believe the Constitution should be followed. I also berlieve it is far easier for citizens to affect changes in policy when issue are closer to them, and state government is closer to the citizens than Washington D.C. is.

"Care to tell us why you're so interested in the Senator's fortunes? You know him? Work for him?"
I don't know him personally. I do intend to work for his nomination as the GOP candidate for president and in the general election against the Hildabeast or whatever socialist the Dems run for the White House.
Why?
Because I believe Sen. Allen represents the best chance for the Republican Party to get a conservative elected in 2008.
On the issues accross the board, from national security to the judiciary, I think he's a conservative's best hope to keep the Dems from winning the White House and completing the job of destroying this nation that Jimmy Carter and the Clintons got so far on.
His views on abortion are far more acceptable to me than those of Rudy, and McCain's voting record is much less conservative than Allen's. Brownback doesn't have a chance of winning the general, even if he could somehow manage to get the nomination, which looks doubtful. Frist is a proven failure as a leader, and Romney's health care bill dooms him to the same fate as his father- never winning the GOP nomination.
I've told you who I'm supporting for president and why I'm for him. Now, who do you want to see in the White House?
Then don't you think you should find a candidate that actually has an understanding of the deep moral principles involved in the abortion debate?
I don't know when the soul enters the body, and neither does anyone else, except for God Almighty.
God said, "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born; I consecrated you..." - Jeremiah 1:4
A unique human being, with unique DNA, is formed at conception, at the very moment that the first cells divide after the uniting of human sperm and human egg. This is an irrefutable fact of science. Why are there still people arguing like we have the scientic knowledge base of Aristotle?
I do know that brainwaves can be detected as early as 6 weeks.
What will happen to that 5 week-old babe in the womb if left alone by the abortionist and his knife? Will he not grow into a human? Your arbitrary guessing is unjust.
I also believe that since the U.S. Constitution does not address the issue...
It does, in the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments.
No person shall be...deprived of life...without due process... (A fair trail on a capital offense. See my tagline.)
The Declaration of Independence also makes clear reference to the fact that our right to life is God-given and therefore unalienable.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Sorry that your copies of the founding documents have had those passages excised, like our judges' copies have...
...the matter of abortion is in the purview of the states.
The several States have no right to alienate unalienable rights. Sorry.
Much as I would not favor liberal states continuing to allow abortions, I believe the Constitution should be followed.
Then enforce the unalienable right to life for all. Don't adopt the same wrong-headed and wrong-hearted arguments that were used to continue slavery for so long.
I also berlieve it is far easier for citizens to affect changes in policy when issue are closer to them, and state government is closer to the citizens than Washington D.C. is.
Of course. But again, the States have no rights to strip away unalienable rights, be they the rights to religious liberty, free speech, self-protection, assembly, or the RIGHT TO LIVE.
