Okay. I believe him, but how is this not a flip flop like Romney who became pro-life when he had to sign pro-abortion legislation? As far as I can tell, McCain is the only one of the major candidates who has long been a pro-lifer.
See post 33 below.
There’s a youtube video from 1994 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5a_Fpu_8KE that refutes any support for abortion - see number 30 for an explanation about the form.
The Senator does not believe in abortion, but sees a different approach to ending it - as coming from the States, after Roe v. Wade is overturned..
After Roe is overturned States will have to address abortion as they already do in the case of other cases of humans killing humans: decide between criminal and non-criminal. Neighboring States may have different definitions of First Degree murder and manslaughter. They have different laws about home defense and deaths and injuries from protecting life and property.
The States will have to consider those who hold firmly to the “rape and incest” exceptions and the cases where there is a risk to health, but not to life. They will have to satisfy the people who weren’t happy with South Dakota’s ban on abortion because it had these exceptions and allowed the morning after pill. They will also have to decide how to handle in vitro fertilization and the embryos created outside the body.
